Book ◦ Chapter

Then the sons of Judah approached Joshua at Gilgal
The tribe of Judah, one of the twelve tribes of Israel, is significant in biblical history as it is the tribe from which King David and ultimately Jesus Christ descended. Gilgal is an important location in Israel's history, serving as the first campsite of the Israelites after crossing the Jordan River into the Promised Land. It was here that the Israelites renewed their covenant with God through circumcision and celebrated the Passover (Joshua 5:2-12). This setting underscores the continuity of God's promises and the fulfillment of His covenant with Israel.

and Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him
Caleb is a prominent figure known for his faithfulness and courage. He was one of the twelve spies sent by Moses to scout the Promised Land and, along with Joshua, gave a positive report, trusting in God's promise (Numbers 13:30, 14:6-9). The mention of Caleb as a Kenizzite indicates his non-Israelite origin, as the Kenizzites were a clan associated with Edom. This highlights the inclusivity of God's covenant, as Caleb is fully integrated into the tribe of Judah and the people of Israel due to his faith and loyalty.

“You know what the LORD said to Moses the man of God at Kadesh-barnea about you and me.
Kadesh-barnea is a significant location where the Israelites camped in the wilderness and from where the spies were sent into Canaan (Numbers 13:26). It is here that God made a promise to Caleb and Joshua, assuring them that they would enter the Promised Land because of their faithfulness (Numbers 14:24, 30). The reference to Moses as "the man of God" emphasizes his role as a prophet and leader through whom God communicated His will. This phrase underscores the reliability of God's promises and the importance of faith and obedience in receiving God's blessings.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

INHERITANCE OF JUDAH (Joshua 14:6 toJoshua 15:63).

(6)Caleb the son of Jephunneh--Caleb was the commissioner appointed from the tribe of Judah to divide the land (Numbers 34:19). His coming forward on this occasion to ask for his own inheritance first of all might appear to savour of self-interest, if the post of honour for which he applied had not been also the most dangerous and difficult position in the inheritance of his tribe. He applied for the territory of the gigantic sons of Anak, whom he undertook to drive out in the strength of Jehovah. Therefore "Joshua blessed him" and gave him Hebron for his inheritance. It is noticeable that of the two faithful spies whom Moses sent, Caleb received his inheritancefirst,and Joshualastof all Israel. (SeeJoshua 19:49.) The characters of the two men are well seen in this contrast--the one foremost in a service of danger; the otherlastto seek the things that were his own. Thus, "even Christ pleased not Himself" (comp. Joshua); but "the reproaches of them that reproached thee fell on me," as the conquest of the sons of Anak fell to the lot of Caleb. Observe how the slayer of Goliath is said to take away thereproachfrom Israel,1Samuel 17:26."Who can stand before the children of Anak?" . . .

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 6. -In Gilgal (seeJoshua 9:6).Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite. Or,descendant of Kenaz, as was his kinsman Othniel. As far as we can make out from the genealogy in1 Chronicles 2, Caleb and Kenaz were family names, for the Caleb or Calubi (1 Chronicles 2:9) the son of Hezron (1 Chronicles 2:18), the Caleb the son of Hur (1 Chronicles 2:50), and Caleb the son of Jephunneh (1 Chronicles 4:15), could not have been the same persons. And Caleb was a Kenezite, or descendant of Kenaz; he had a grandson, apparently, of that name (so the LXX. and Vulgate translate,1 Chronicles 4:15), and a brother, according to the most probable rendering of the Hebrew of bothJoshua 15:17 andJudges 1:9. See also1 Chronicles 4:13. For Caleb was the son of Jephunneh, not of Kenaz. Hitzig, 'Geschichte des Volkes Israel,' 1:105, thinks that Caleb was a descendant of the Kenaz mentioned inGenesis 36:11; or, see 15. Some think he was a Kenizzite (seeGenesis 15:19). The Bishop of Bath and Wells, in his article in Smiths 'Dictionary of the Bible,' thinks that the view that he was not of Jewish origin agrees best with the Scripture narrative, and removes many difficulties regarding the number of the children of Israel at the Exodus. It certainly serves to explain why the tribe of Judah came with Caleb, when he preferred his request, and the statement in ch. 15:13, which seems to imply that Caleb was not one of the tribe of Judah by birth, but one of the "mixed multitude" that went up with the Israelites (Exodus 12:38), and acquired afterwards by circumcision the rights of Israelites. If this be the case, it is an illustration of the truth declared inRomans 2:28, 29;Romans 4:12;Galatians 3:7. By his faithfulness to God he had well earned the reward which he now sought.Concerning me and thee. And yet Knobel asserts that, according to vers. 8 and 12, Joshua was not one of the spies! He accordingly sees the hand of the "Jehovist" here. So accurate is the criticism which pretends to be able to disintegrate the narratives in the Hebrew Scriptures, and to assign each part to its separate author (seeNumbers 14:24). As well might we conclude that this verse inNumbers 14. is by a different hand to vers. 30 and 38 in the same chapter, in spite of the obvious coherence of the whole narrative.
