Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Joshua 14:6-15

6-15 Caleb's request is, "Give me this mountain," or Hebron, because it was formerly in God's promise to him, and he would let Israel knows how much he valued the promise. Those who live by faith value that which is given by God's promise, far above what is given by his providence only. It was now in the Anakims' possession, and Caleb would let Israel know how little he feared the enemy, and that he would encourage them to push on their conquests. Caleb answered to his name, which signifies... read more

Caleb Granted Hebron for an Inheritance v. 6. Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal, this being the first interruption in the work of distributing the land; and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, the Kenezite, said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that the Lord said unto Moses, the man of God, concerning me and thee in Kadesh-barnea, namely, in promising them a possession in the land of Canaan, Numbers 14:24, for the stand which they took over against the other spies after their... read more

3. Beginning of the DistributionJoshua 14:1-51And these are the countries which the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan,1 which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children [sons] of Israel distributed for inheritance [a 2possession] to them. [,] By lot was their inheritance [by the lot of their possession], as the Lord [Jehovah] commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine tribes, and for the half-tribe. 3For Moses had... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Joshua 14:1-15

the Man Who Wholly Followed His God Joshua 14:1-15 The lot was doubtless adopted to obviate cause for jealousy or charges of favoritism. It denoted God’s choice, Proverbs 16:33 ; Proverbs 18:18 . It could be used only with very evident reliance on Him, and in our day has been superseded by the sending of the Comforter to teach us all things, John 16:13 . It was long since Caleb had cut down the bunch of grapes near the spot of his choice, but he had never forgotten it; and now God, who had... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Joshua 14:1-15

The matter of supreme interest here is, of course, the story of Caleb, who, after forty-five years of waiting, claimed and obtained a definite possession in the land. His claim was made while there was much still to be done and he urged his unabated vigor as constituting his fitness for the work. The whole history of Caleb is full of interest and instruction. While perhaps it cannot be positively proven, it is yet most probable that he was a proselyte and a descendant of Esau. His victory at... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Joshua 14:6-15

Dividing the Inheritances Joshua 14:6-15 ; Joshua 15:13-19 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We have come to a very interesting place in the early history of Israel even to the dividing of the land, and to the allotting of the inheritances to each tribe, and family. The sad phase of all of this is given to the student for consideration. It is his to consider those who failed of their inheritances, and of entrance into Canaan. 1. A story of unbelief. We remember how the Children of Israel under Moses had... read more

The Special Allocation to Caleb (Joshua 14:6-15 ). Joshua 14:6 ‘ Then the children of Judah drew near to Joshua in Gilgal, and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, said to him, “You know what it was that YHWH spoke to Moses the man of God, concerning me and concerning you, in Kadesh-barnea.” ’ After the initial wars Joshua and Israel had returned to their camp at Gilgal, and at this time Caleb came to Joshua accompanied by his fellow elders of the tribe of Judah. It was important that... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Joshua 14:6-15

CRITICAL NOTES Joshua 14:6. Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite] “A very interesting question arises as to the birth and parentage of Caleb. He is, as we have seen, styled ‘the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite,’ and his younger brother Othniel, afterwards the first Judge, is also called ‘the son of Kenaz’ (Joshua 15:17; Judges 1:13; Judges 3:9; Judges 3:11). On the other hand, the genealogy in 1 Chronicles 2:0 makes no mention whatever of either Jephunneh or Kenaz, but represents Caleb, though... read more
