여호수아 14:9-13 KRV

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Joshua 14:13

Joshua blessed him - As the word bless often signifies to speak good or well of or to any person, (see the note on Genesis 2:3 ;), here it may mean the praise bestowed on Caleb's intrepidity and faithfulness by Joshua, as well as a prayer to God that he might have prosperity in all things; and especially that the Lord might be with him, as himself had expressed in the preceding verse. read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Joshua 14:9

Verse 9 9.And Moses swear on that day, etc Here, then, is one fruit of the embassy honestly and faithfully performed — to gain possession of an inheritance of which the whole people is deprived. For although long life is justly accounted one of the mercies of God, the end proposed by it is here added, viz., that Caleb may obtain the inheritance which is denied to others. This was no ordinary privilege. He next extols the faithfulness of God in having prolonged his life, and not only so, but... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Joshua 14:13

Verse 13 13.And Joshua blessed him, etc He prayed thus earnestly to show the delight he felt. For it was expedient by way of example to extol his valor, by which others might be incited to surmount all their fears. For it was just as if he had gained an eminence from which he could look down upon the giants. The blessing of Caleb, therefore, includes in it praise which may have the effect of an exhortation to the people. In the end of the chapter it is said, that the name of Hebron was... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Joshua 14:6-15

Caleb's faithfulness and its reward. The history of Caleb seems to have a special fascination for the sacred historian. We read of him here, and in the next chapter, and in 1:1-36 . Whether this were due to his bravery, his sincerity, his hale and hearty old age, or (see note on 1:6 ) his foreign extraction, coupled with his zeal for his adopted country and tribe, or from the combination of all these, it is not necessary to decide. Sufficient to remark I. THE BRAVE MAN WINS ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Joshua 14:9

And Moses sware on that day (cf. Numbers 14:21-24 ; Deuteronomy 1:35 , Deuteronomy 1:36 ). Keil raises the difficulty that in the above passage not Moses, but God is said to have sworn, and that no special inheritance is promised to Caleb, but only that he shall enter the promised land. But this is not the fact, as a comparison of this passage with Deuteronomy 1:36 will show. That either passage gives the ipsissima verba of Moses is unlikely. The main sense of the promise is given... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Joshua 14:10

Forty and five years. This marks the date of the present conversation as occurring seven years after the invasion. Caleb was forty years of age when be went to spy the land of Canaan. For thirty-eight years the Israelites wandered in the wilderness. And Caleb was now eighty-five years old. This remark has been made as far back as the time of Theedoret. Doubtless the apportionment of the land, and its occupation by the Israelites, was a long and tedious business (see also Joshua 13:1 ). ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Joshua 14:11

As yet am I as strong this day. A vigorous and respected old age is ordinarily, by Nature's own law, the decreed reward for a virtuous youth and a temperate manhood. Caleb's devotion to God's service had preserved him from the sins as well as from the faithlessness and murmuring of the Israelites. And thus, with a body not enfeebled by indulgence, he presents himself before Joshua with undiminished strength, at a time when most men are sinking under the weight of their infirmities, and is... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Joshua 14:12

This mountain. The neighbourhood of Hebron is described by Bartlett 'Egypt to Palestine,' p. 401, as "a region of hills and valleys." In one of the hollows in this "hill country of Judaea" Hebron still nestles, hut at a height which is "only 400 feet lower than Helvellyn," the highest point but one in England. The Dean remarks on the fact that Palestine was a mountainous country, and that therefore in its history we may expect the characteristics of a mountain people. Whereof the Lord spake... read more

The Anakims. I. WE HAVE " ANAKIMS " IN OUR INHERITANCE . Some of the highest blessings are fenced about with She greatest difficulties. 1 . No earthly inheritance is without its peculiar disadvantages. Some of the "Anakims" which resist us in our efforts to fulfil our mission are (a) the evil in our own heart, e.g; indolence, fear, earthliness; (b) the temptations of the world, arising from bad examples, customs, distracting pleasures; (c) direct hindrance in... read more
