The nine tribes and a half are to have their inheritance by lot6. Caleb by privilege obtains Hebron still as strong today as I was the day Moses sent me out. Caleb, at 85 years old, declares his strength is undiminished since the time Moses sent him as a spy into Canaan (Numbers 13:1-3). This reflects God's sustaining power and faithfulness. Caleb's vigor symbolizes the spiritual vitality available to those who wholly follow the Lord (Numbers 14:24). His strength is a testament to a life lived in obedience and faith, contrasting with the fate of the other spies who doubted (Numbers 14:37). Caleb's unwavering faith and physical strength serve as a type of Christ, who perfectly obeyed and trusted the Father. As my strength was then, so it is now for war, for going out, and for coming in. Persons / Places / Events 1. CalebOne of the twelve spies sent by Moses to explore Canaan. He is known for his faithfulness and trust in God's promises. At this point in Joshua 14, Caleb is 85 years old and still full of vigor and faith. 2. Moses The leader of the Israelites who led them out of Egypt and through the wilderness. He sent Caleb and the other spies to scout the Promised Land. 3. Joshua The successor of Moses and the leader of Israel at this time. He is distributing the land among the tribes of Israel. 4. Promised Land (Canaan) The land promised by God to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Caleb is claiming his inheritance in this land. 5. Hebron The specific area Caleb is requesting as his inheritance, a place with historical significance for the Israelites. Teaching Points Faithfulness Over TimeCaleb's strength is a testament to a life lived in faithfulness to God. His physical and spiritual vigor at 85 is a result of his unwavering trust in God's promises. God's Sustaining Power Caleb's declaration of strength is a reminder that God sustains those who are faithful to Him. Our strength for life's battles comes from God, not merely from our own abilities. Claiming God's Promises Caleb actively claims the inheritance promised to him. Believers are encouraged to claim God's promises in their lives with the same confidence and faith. Courage in the Face of Challenges Caleb's readiness to take on the challenges of the Promised Land, even at an advanced age, inspires believers to face their own challenges with courage and trust in God. Legacy of Faith Caleb's life serves as a model for leaving a legacy of faith and strength for future generations. His account encourages believers to live in such a way that their faith impacts others.(11) As yet I am as strong this day . . .--But by Joshua 13:1, "Joshua had aged." Yet Joshua died at the age of 110, only 25 years older than Caleb was at this time. They were contemporaries. But the far greater responsibility lying upon Joshua (with a possible difference of temperament) may very naturally account for the one man's having aged so much more rapidly than the other.Verse 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 ready still for battle with the most formidable foes.
