Joshua, the son of Nun, tore his clothes. So did Caleb, the son of Jephunneh. Joshua and Caleb were two of the men who had checked out the land.

“ Here are their names.“ Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, is from the tribe of Judah.

Then Caleb interrupted the men speaking to Moses. He said,“ We should go up and take the land. We can certainly do it.”

I lifted up my hand and promised to make this land your home. But now not all of you will enter the land. Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, will enter it. So will Joshua, the son of Nun. They are the only ones who will enter the land.

The sons of Caleb were Iru, Elah and Naam. Caleb was the son of Jephunneh. The son of Elah was Kenaz.

The people of Judah approached Joshua at Gilgal. Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, spoke to Joshua. He said,“ You know what the Lord said to Moses, the man of God. He spoke to him at Kadesh Barnea about you and me.Moses, the servant of the Lord, sent me from Kadesh Barnea to check out the land. I was 40 years old at that time. I brought back an honest report to him. I told him exactly what I had seen.Several other men of Israel went up with me. What they reported terrified the people. But I followed the Lord my God with my whole heart.So on that day Moses made a promise to me. He said,‘ The land you have walked on will be your share. It will be the share of your children forever. That’s because you have followed the Lord my God with your whole heart.’( Deuteronomy 1:36)“ The Lord has done just as he promised. He made the promise while Israel was wandering around in the desert. That was 45 years ago. He has kept me alive all this time. So here I am today, 85 years old!I’m still as strong today as I was the day Moses sent me out. I’m just as able to go out to battle now as I was then.So give me this hill country. The Lord promised it to me that day. At that time you yourself heard that the Anakites were living there. You also heard that their cities were large and had high walls around them. But I’ll drive them out, just as the Lord said I would. He will help me do it.”Then Joshua blessed Caleb, the son of Jephunneh. He gave him Hebron as his share.So ever since that time Hebron has belonged to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite. That’s because he followed the Lord, the God of Israel, with his whole heart.Hebron used to be called Kiriath Arba. It was named after Arba. He was the greatest man among the Anakites. So the land had peace and rest.

But my servant Caleb has a different spirit. He follows me with his whole heart. So I will bring him into the land he went to. And his children after him will receive land there.

The Lord had told the Israelites at Kadesh Barnea that they would certainly die in the desert. Not one of them was left alive except Caleb and Joshua. Caleb was the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua was the son of Nun.

The time came for this to be done. All who had gathered to worship were praying outside.Then an angel of the Lord appeared to Zechariah. The angel was standing at the right side of the incense altar.When Zechariah saw him, he was amazed and terrified.But the angel said to him,“ Do not be afraid, Zechariah. Your prayer has been heard. Your wife Elizabeth will have a child. It will be a boy, and you must call him John.He will be a joy and delight to you. His birth will make many people very glad.He will be important in the sight of the Lord. He must never drink wine or other such drinks. He will be filled with the Holy Spirit even before he is born.

Moses spoke to the Lord. He said,“ Lord, you are the God who gives life and breath to all living things. Please put someone in charge of this community.Have that person lead them and take care of them. Then your people won’t be like sheep without a shepherd.”So the Lord said to Moses,“ Joshua, the son of Nun, has the ability to be a wise leader. Get him and place your hand on him.Have him stand in front of Eleazar the priest and the whole community. Put him in charge while everyone is watching.Give him some of your authority. Then the whole community of Israel will obey him.Joshua will stand in front of Eleazar the priest. Eleazar will help him make decisions. Eleazar will get help from me by using the Urim. Joshua and the whole community of Israel must not make any move at all unless I command them to.”Moses did just as the Lord commanded him. He got Joshua and had him stand in front of Eleazar the priest and the whole community.Then Moses placed his hands on Joshua. And he put him in charge of the people. He did just as the Lord had directed through Moses.

Only two of the men who went to check out the land remained alive. One of them was Joshua, the son of Nun. The other was Caleb, the son of Jephunneh.

Caleb said,“ I will give my daughter Aksah to be married. I’ll give her to the man who attacks and captures Kiriath Sepher.”Othniel captured it. So Caleb gave his daughter Aksah to him to be his wife. Othniel was the son of Kenaz. He was Caleb’s younger brother.One day Aksah came to Othniel. She begged him to ask her father for a field. When she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her,“ What can I do for you?”She replied,“ Do me a special favor. You have given me some land in the Negev Desert. Give me springs of water also.” So Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs.

Joshua gave a part of Judah’s share of land to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh. That was according to the Lord’ s command to Joshua. The share Caleb received was the city of Hebron. It was also called Kiriath Arba. Anak came from the family line of Arba.Caleb drove three Anakites out of Hebron. Their names were Sheshai, Ahiman and Talmai. They were from the family line of Anak.From Hebron, Caleb marched out against the people living in Debir. It used to be called Kiriath Sepher.Caleb said,“ I will give my daughter Aksah to be married. She’ll be the wife of the man who attacks and captures Kiriath Sepher.”Othniel captured it. So Caleb gave his daughter Aksah to him to be his wife. Othniel was the son of Kenaz. He was Caleb’s brother.One day Aksah came to Othniel. She begged him to ask her father for a field. When she got off her donkey, Caleb spoke to her. He asked,“ What can I do for you?”She replied,“ Do me a special favor. You have given me some land in the Negev Desert. Give me springs of water also.” So Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs.

Then Moses sent for Joshua. Moses spoke to him in front of all the Israelites. He said,“ Be strong and brave. You must go with these people. They are going into the land the Lord promised to give to their people of long ago. You must divide it up among them. They will each receive their share.The Lord himself will go ahead of you. He will be with you. He will never leave you. He’ll never desert you. So don’t be afraid. Don’t lose hope.”Moses wrote down this law. He gave it to the priests, who are sons of Levi. They carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord. He also gave the law to all the elders of Israel.Then Moses commanded them,“ You must read this law at the end of every seven years. Do it in the year when you forgive people what they owe. Read it during the Feast of Booths.That’s when all the Israelites come to appear in front of the Lord your God at the holy tent. It will be at the place he will choose. You must read this law to them.Gather the people together. Gather the men, women and children. Also bring together the outsiders living in your towns. Then they can listen and learn to have respect for the Lord your God. And they’ll be careful to obey all the words of this law.Their children must hear it read too. They don’t know this law yet. They too must learn to have respect for the Lord your God. They must honor him as long as you live in the land. You are about to go across the Jordan River and take that land as your very own.”The Lord said to Moses,“ The day when you will die is near. Have Joshua go to the tent of meeting. Join him there. That is where I will appoint him as the new leader.” So Joshua and Moses went to the tent of meeting.Then the Lord appeared at the tent in a pillar of cloud. It stood over the entrance to the tent.The Lord spoke to Moses. He said,“ You are going to join the members of your family who have already died. The Israelites will not be faithful to me. They will soon join themselves to the false gods that are worshiped in the land they are entering. The people will desert me. They will break the covenant I made with them.In that day I will become angry with them. I will desert them. I will turn my face away from them. And they will be destroyed. Many horrible troubles and hard times will come on them. On that day they will say,‘ Trouble has come on us. Our God isn’t with us!’
