Numbers 14:24

14:24 Only my servant Caleb, because he had a different spirit and has followed me fully – I will bring him into the land where he had gone, and his descendants ¹  will possess it.

Numbers 14:30

14:30 You will by no means enter into the land where ²  I swore ³  to settle ⁴  you. The only exceptions are Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.

Numbers 26:65

26:65 For the Lord had said of them, “They will surely die in the wilderness.” And there was not left a single man of them, except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.

Deuteronomy 1:36

1:36 The exception is Caleb son of Jephunneh; ⁵  he will see it and I will give him and his descendants the territory on which he has walked, because he has wholeheartedly followed me.” ⁶ 

Joshua 14:8-9

14:8 My countrymen ⁷  who accompanied ⁸  me frightened the people, ⁹  but I remained loyal to the Lord my God. ¹⁰  14:9 That day Moses made this solemn promise: ¹¹  ‘Surely the land on which you walked ¹²  will belong to you and your descendants permanently, ¹³  for you remained loyal to the Lord your God.’

¹ tn Heb “seed.”

² tn The relative pronoun “which” is joined with the resumptive pronoun “in it” to form a smoother reading “where.”

³ tn The Hebrew text uses the anthropomorphic expression “I raised my hand” in taking an oath.

⁴ tn Heb “to cause you to dwell; to cause you to settle.”

⁵ sn Caleb had, with Joshua, brought back to Israel a minority report from Canaan urging a conquest of the land, for he was confident of the Lord’s power (Num 13:6, 8, 16, 30; 14:30, 38).

⁶ tn Heb “the Lord.” The pronoun (“me”) has been employed in the translation, since it sounds strange to an English reader for the Lord to speak about himself in third person.

⁷ tn Heb “brothers.”

⁸ tn Heb “went up with.”

⁹ tn Heb “made the heart[s] of the people melt.”

¹⁰ tn Heb “I filled up after the Lord my God,” an idiomatic statement meaning that Caleb remained loyal to the Lord.

¹¹ tn Heb “swore an oath.”

¹² tn Heb “on which your foot has walked.”

¹³ tn Heb “will belong to you for an inheritance, and to your sons forever.”
