Read Joshua 14 in full →Caleb’s Inheritance
6Then the sons of Judah drew near to Joshua in Gilgal, and aCaleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, “You know the word which Yahweh spoke to Moses the man of God concerning 1you and me in Kadesh-barnea. 7“I was forty years old when aMoses the servant of Yahweh sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land, and I brought word back to him as it was in my heart. 8“Nevertheless, my brothers who went up with me made the heart of the people 1melt with fear; but aI followed Yahweh my God fully. 9“So Moses swore on that day, saying, ‘Surely athe land on which your foot has trodden will be an inheritance to you and to your children forever because you have followed Yahweh my God fully.’ 10“So now behold, Yahweh has let me live, just as He spoke, these forty-five years, from the time that Yahweh spoke this word to Moses, when Israel walked in the wilderness; so now behold, I am eighty-five years old today.
