Usage: The name Caleb appears in the Hebrew Bible as a prominent figure, particularly in the narratives of the Book of Numbers and the Book of Joshua. Caleb is one of the twelve spies sent by Moses to explore the land of Canaan and is noted for his faithfulness and trust in God's promise. Context: Caleb is a significant character in the Old Testament, known for his unwavering faith and courage. He is introduced as the son of Jephunneh, a Kenizzite, and is a member of the tribe of Judah. Caleb, along with Joshua, is one of the two spies who bring back a positive report about the Promised Land, urging the Israelites to trust in God's promise despite the formidable inhabitants of Canaan. His faith is rewarded by God, who promises that Caleb and his descendants will inherit the land he explored. Caleb's story is further detailed in the Book of Joshua, where he is granted the city of Hebron as his inheritance. His legacy is one of steadfastness and faith, serving as an example of trust in divine promises.
