Then Joshua blessed Caleb, i.e., implored the blessing of God upon his undertaking, and gave him Hebron for an inheritance. Hebron is mentioned as the chief city, to which the surrounding country belonged; for Caleb had asked for the mountains ( Jos 14:9), i.e., the mountainous country with and around Hebron, which included, for example, the fortified town of Debir also ( Jos 15:15).
