And the name of Hebron before was Kirjatharba; which Arba was a great man among the Anakims. And the land had rest from war.

Verse 15 is found in chapter 14 of Joshua. Joshua grants Hebron to Caleb, and the text again emphasizes that Caleb followed the Lord fully. The mention of his age and strength makes the scene a positive conclusion to the story begun in Numbers. Hebron becomes associated with Caleb’s faithfulness and the delayed fulfillment of a promise. The land thus also serves as testimony that God’s promises can pass through long periods before reaching fulfillment.

Aber Hebron hieß vorzeiten Stadt des Arba, der ein großer Mensch war unter den Enakitern. Und der Krieg hatte aufgehört im Lande.
Mas Hebrón fue antes llamada Chîriath-arba; fue Arba un hombre grande entre los Anaceos. Y la tierra tuvo reposo de las guerras.
Hebrón antes se llamaba Quiriat-arba. Arba era el hombre más grande entre los anaceos. La tierra descansó de la guerra.
Hébron s'appelait autrefois Kirjath-Arba: Arba avait été l'homme le plus grand parmi les Anakim. Le pays fut dès lors en repos et sans guerre.
Ora il nome di Hebron era stato per addietro Chiriat-Arba; il quale Arba era stato un grand’uomo fra gli Anachiti. E il paese ebbe riposo della guerra
E antes o nome de Hebrom era Quiriate-Arba, porque Arba foi o maior homem entre os anaquins. E a terra repousou da guerra.
