King James Bible
"Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed the LORD."
God makes an exception for Caleb among the condemned generation of Israelites who rebelled after the negative spy report. Unlike his peers who would die in the wilderness, Caleb would live to enter the Promised Land he had faithfully scouted forty years earlier. God promises Caleb personal ownership of the specific territory he explored, particularly the Hebron region where he saw the giants but maintained faith. This inheritance extends to his descendants, establishing a lasting family legacy as reward for his courage. The reason for Caleb's exceptional treatment is his complete devotion—he demonstrated unwavering trust when ten other spies spread fear and doubt. The Hebrew implies following with a 'full heart,' distinguishing Caleb's faith from the partial or conditional obedience of others.
