A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882]
my servant Caleb--Joshua was also excepted, but he is not named because he was no longer in the ranks of the people, being a constant attendant on Moses.

because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully--Under the influence of God's Spirit, Caleb was a man of bold, generous, heroic courage, above worldly anxieties and fears.

6 And Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126], and Caleb [03612] the son [01121] of Jephunneh [03312], which were of them that searched [08446] the land [0776], rent [07167] their clothes [0899]:
7 And they spake [0559] unto all the company [05712] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], saying [0559], The land [0776], which we passed [05674] through to search [08446] it, is an exceeding [03966] [03966] good [02896] land [0776].
8 If the LORD [03068] delight [02654] in us, then he will bring [0935] us into this land [0776], and give [05414] it us; a land [0776] which floweth [02100] with milk [02461] and honey [01706].
9 Only rebel [04775] not ye against the LORD [03068], neither fear [03372] ye the people [05971] of the land [0776]; for they are bread [03899] for us: their defence [06738] is departed [05493] from them, and the LORD [03068] is with us: fear [03372] them not.
10 But all the congregation [05712] bade [0559] stone [07275] them with stones [068]. And the glory [03519] of the LORD [03068] appeared [07200] in the tabernacle [0168] of the congregation [04150] before all the children [01121] of Israel [03478].
38 But Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126], and Caleb [03612] the son [01121] of Jephunneh [03312], which were of the men [01992] [0582] that went [01980] to search [08446] the land [0776], lived [02421] still.
30 Doubtless ye shall not [0518] come [0935] into the land [0776], concerning which I sware [03027] [05375] to make you dwell [07931] therein, save Caleb [03612] the son [01121] of Jephunneh [03312], and Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126].
30 And Caleb [03612] stilled [02013] the people [05971] before Moses [04872], and said [0559], Let us go up [05927] at once [05927], and possess [03423] it; for we are well able [03201] to overcome [03201] it.
26 And the LORD [03068] spake [01696] unto Moses [04872] and unto Aaron [0175], saying [0559],
27 How long shall I bear with this evil [07451] congregation [05712], which murmur [03885] against me? I have heard [08085] the murmurings [08519] of the children [01121] of Israel [03478], which they murmur [03885] against me.
28 Say [0559] unto them, As truly as [03808] I live [02416], saith [05002] the LORD [03068], as ye have spoken [01696] in mine ears [0241], so will I do [06213] to you:
29 Your carcases [06297] shall fall [05307] in this wilderness [04057]; and all that were numbered [06485] of you, according to your whole number [04557], from twenty [06242] years [08141] old [01121] and upward [04605], which have murmured [03885] against me,
30 Doubtless ye shall not [0518] come [0935] into the land [0776], concerning which I sware [03027] [05375] to make you dwell [07931] therein, save Caleb [03612] the son [01121] of Jephunneh [03312], and Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126].
31 But your little ones [02945], which ye said [0559] should be a prey [0957], them will I bring in [0935], and they shall know [03045] the land [0776] which ye have despised [03988].
32 But as for you, your carcases [06297], they shall fall [05307] in this wilderness [04057].
33 And your children [01121] shall wander [07462] in the wilderness [04057] forty [0705] years [08141], and bear [05375] your whoredoms [02184], until your carcases [06297] be wasted [08552] in the wilderness [04057].
34 After the number [04557] of the days [03117] in which ye searched [08446] the land [0776], even forty [0705] days [03117], each day [03117] for a year [08141] [03117] [08141], shall ye bear [05375] your iniquities [05771], even forty [0705] years [08141], and ye shall know [03045] my breach of promise [08569].
35 I the LORD [03068] have said [01696], I will surely [0518] [03808] do [06213] it [02063] unto all this evil [07451] congregation [05712], that are gathered together [03259] against me: in this wilderness [04057] they shall be consumed [08552], and there they shall die [04191].
36 And the men [0582], which Moses [04872] sent [07971] to search [08446] the land [0776], who returned [07725], and made all the congregation [05712] to murmur [03885] [03885] against him, by bringing up [03318] a slander [01681] upon the land [0776],
37 Even those [0582] men [0582] that did bring up [03318] the evil [07451] report [01681] upon the land [0776], died [04191] by the plague [04046] before [06440] the LORD [03068].
38 But Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126], and Caleb [03612] the son [01121] of Jephunneh [03312], which were of the men [01992] [0582] that went [01980] to search [08446] the land [0776], lived [02421] still.
30 And Caleb [03612] stilled [02013] the people [05971] before Moses [04872], and said [0559], Let us go up [05927] at once [05927], and possess [03423] it; for we are well able [03201] to overcome [03201] it.
38 But Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126], and Caleb [03612] the son [01121] of Jephunneh [03312], which were of the men [01992] [0582] that went [01980] to search [08446] the land [0776], lived [02421] still.
30 Doubtless ye shall not [0518] come [0935] into the land [0776], concerning which I sware [03027] [05375] to make you dwell [07931] therein, save Caleb [03612] the son [01121] of Jephunneh [03312], and Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126].
6 Then the children [01121] of Judah [03063] came [05066] unto Joshua [03091] in Gilgal [01537]: and Caleb [03612] the son [01121] of Jephunneh [03312] the Kenezite [07074] said [0559] unto him, Thou knowest [03045] the thing [01697] that the LORD [03068] said [01696] unto Moses [04872] the man [0376] of God [0430] concerning me [0182] and thee [0182] in Kadeshbarnea [06947].
35 Surely there shall not one [0376] of these men [0582] of this evil [07451] generation [01755] see [07200] that good [02896] land [0776], which I sware [07650] to give [05414] unto your fathers [01],
36 Save [02108] Caleb [03612] the son [01121] of Jephunneh [03312]; he shall see [07200] it, and to him will I give [05414] the land [0776] that [0834] he hath trodden upon [01869], and to his children [01121], because he hath wholly [04390] followed [0310] the LORD [03068].
23 Surely they shall not [0518] see [07200] the land [0776] which I sware [07650] unto their fathers [01], neither shall any of them that provoked [05006] me see [07200] it:
31 And the king [04428] stood [05975] in his place [05977], and made [03772] a covenant [01285] before [06440] the LORD [03068], to walk [03212] after [0310] the LORD [03068], and to keep [08104] his commandments [04687], and his testimonies [05715], and his statutes [02706], with all his heart [03824], and with all his soul [05315], to perform [06213] the words [01697] of the covenant [01285] which are written [03789] in this book [05612].
6 And Solomon [08010] did [06213] evil [07451] in the sight [05869] of the LORD [03068], and went not fully [04390] after [0310] the LORD [03068], as did David [01732] his father [01].
8 Nevertheless my brethren [0251] that went up [05927] with me made the heart [03820] of the people [05971] melt [04529]: but I wholly [04390] followed [0310] the LORD [03068] my God [0430].
9 And Moses [04872] sware [07650] on that day [03117], saying [0559], Surely the land [0776] whereon thy feet [07272] have trodden [01869] shall be thine inheritance [05159], and thy children's [01121] for [05704] ever [05769], because thou hast wholly [04390] followed [0310] the LORD [03068] my God [0430].
36 Save [02108] Caleb [03612] the son [01121] of Jephunneh [03312]; he shall see [07200] it, and to him will I give [05414] the land [0776] that [0834] he hath trodden upon [01869], and to his children [01121], because he hath wholly [04390] followed [0310] the LORD [03068].
11 Surely [0518] none of the men [0582] that came up [05927] out of Egypt [04714], from twenty [06242] years [08141] old [01121] and upward [04605], shall see [07200] the land [0127] which I sware [07650] unto Abraham [085], unto Isaac [03327], and unto Jacob [03290]; because they have not wholly [04390] followed [0310] me:
12 Save Caleb [03612] the son [01121] of Jephunneh [03312] the Kenezite [07074], and Joshua [03091] the son [01121] of Nun [05126]: for they have wholly [04390] followed [0310] the LORD [03068].
9 And Moses [04872] sware [07650] on that day [03117], saying [0559], Surely the land [0776] whereon thy feet [07272] have trodden [01869] shall be thine inheritance [05159], and thy children's [01121] for [05704] ever [05769], because thou hast wholly [04390] followed [0310] the LORD [03068] my God [0430].
