Biography

One of twelve spies who explored Canaan, Caleb and Joshua were the only two who trusted God to give Israel victory. For his faith, Caleb was promised he would enter the Promised Land. At age 85, he requested the hill country of Hebron with its fortified cities and giants, saying he was as strong as when Moses sent him. He conquered Hebron and received it as his inheritance.

Significance

Caleb exemplifies wholehearted devotion to God and enduring faith. His confidence in God's promises even in old age demonstrates that spiritual vitality is more important than physical age.
