In this video listen to Joshua 14 read by David Alley, followed by comments and prayer.
In Joshua 14 we now start covering the division of the land to the tribes west of the Jordan. In verse 10 we find out some facts about Caleb, that he was 40 when he spied out the land and is 85 now. Many marvel at the age of Caleb who is 85 here and strong as ever, yet here is the key to the length of the campaign.
Because he spied out the land at the age of 40, which was in the second year after leaving Egypt, when he was presumably 38. So it has been 7 years since the campaign began, making it a 7 years campaign. Now, Caleb requests Kiriath Arba in the hill country to be his inheritance. This is the home of giants. Caleb was one of the twelve spies who wasn’t bothered by the giants, and now 45 years later he is still not impressed by them. His trust is in the Lord.
What do we learn from that? Our eyes should be on the Lord, as we work for our inheritance in the land he has given us.
