Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Joshua 14:9

Ver. 9. And Moses sware on that day, saying— See Num 14:21-24 and Deuteronomy 1:34-35. It was God who sware, and not Moses; but as he sware by the mouth of the latter, the expression used by the sacred writer is just. Ver. 11. As yet I am as strong, &c.] Caleb adds this consideration only the better to shew the high sense he has of the divine goodness, which had so preserved his vigour in this advanced age, as to enable him either to take from the enemies, which still retained them, the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Joshua 14:12

Ver. 12. In that day (for thou heardest) &c.— The LXX and Vulgate construe these words with what goes before, and render the whole thus: Give me, therefore, this mountain, which the Lord promised me, as thou thyself heardst. Beside the city of Hebron, the Anakims possessed at least two others in this district. See Numbers 13:29; Numbers 13:32-33; Jos 11:21 Joshua 20:7. If—the Lord will be with me, then I shall be able, &c.— Here arises a difficulty. We observed that Joshua had already... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Joshua 14:6

6-11. Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb . . . said—This incident is recorded here because it occurred while the preparations were being made for casting the lots, which, it appears, were begun in Gilgal. The claim of Caleb to the mountains of Hebron as his personal and family possessions was founded on a solemn promise of Moses, forty-five years before (Numbers 14:24; Deuteronomy 1:36; Joshua 14:10), to give him that land on account of his fidelity. Being one of... read more

12. give me this mountain, whereof the Lord spake in that day—this highland region. for thou heardest in that day how the Anakims were there—The report of the spies, who tried to kindle the flame of sedition and discontent, related chiefly to the people and condition of this mountain district, and hence it was promised as the reward of Caleb's truth, piety, and faithfulness. read more

2. Caleb’s inheritance 14:6-15Before the casting of lots began, Caleb came to Joshua with his fellow tribesmen from Judah to request the inheritance that Moses had promised him (Joshua 14:9; Deuteronomy 1:36; cf. Numbers 14:26-38). Moses had promised Caleb land in Canaan but had not specified its location. The reason for this special blessing was Caleb’s faithfulness to God when he served as one of the 12 spies. Joshua also received a personal allotment later (Joshua 19:49-50)."Caleb represents... read more
