³⁰ Caleb, however, quieted the people before Moses and said, “We ought to go up and seize the land, for we can certainly prevail over it.”

⁶ while Joshua, son of Nun, and Caleb, son of Jephunneh, who had been among those that reconnoitered the land, tore their garments ⁷ and said to the whole community of the Israelites,^(A) “The land which we went through and reconnoitered is an exceedingly good land. ⁸ If the Lord is pleased with us, he will bring us in to this land and give it to us, a land which flows with milk and honey. ^9 (B)Only do not rebel against the Lord! You need not be afraid of the people of the land, for they are but food for us!^[a] Their protection has left them, but the Lord is with us. Do not fear them.”

²⁴ But as for my servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit and follows me unreservedly,^(A) I will bring him into the land which he entered, and his descendants shall possess it.

¹⁴ Therefore Hebron remains the heritage of the Kenizzite Caleb, son of Jephunneh, to the present day, because he was completely loyal to the Lord, the God of Israel.
