Verse 38
But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh ,.... Here Joshua is set first, as Caleb is in Numbers 14:30 ; which shows that they were equal in dignity, and therefore are indifferently put, sometimes the one first, and sometimes the other:
which were of the men that went to search the land ; were two of the spies, and were for the tribes of Judah and Ephraim, Numbers 13:6 ,
lived still ; were not stricken with death, when the other spies were; though perhaps upon the very spot, and in the same place, and among them, when they were struck dead; but these remained alive, and continued many years after, and entered the good land, and possessed it.
