SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:11

y aun hoy estoy tan fuerte como el día que Moisés me envió; cual era entonces mi fuerza, tal es ahora, para la guerra, y para salir y para entrar.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Joshua 14:11

Verse 11. Even so is my strength now] I do not ask this place because I wish to sit down now, and take my ease; on the contrary, I know I must fight, to drive out the Anakim, and I am as able and willing to do it as I was forty-five years ago, when Moses sent me to spy out the land.

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 11. As yet I [am as] strong this day as [I was] in the day that Moses sent me , etc.] To spy the land, forty five years ago; suggesting that he was as sound in his mind, understanding, judgment and memory, and as hale, strong, and robust in his body now, as he had been so long ago; which was a wonderful instance of the care of divine Providence over him in upholding him in life, and continuing him in vigour and health at such an age, when the carcasses of so many thousands had pined away and fell in the wilderness: as my strength [was] then, even so [is] my strength now for war ; he had the same strength of body and courage of mind to engage in warlike enterprises as he had so many years ago; and this he the rather mentions, to prevent any objection Joshua might make to the giving of Hebron to him, since being inhabited by giants, it required a large share of strength and courage to attempt the conquest of it: but Caleb had strength both to go out, and to come in ; to do any civil business, to preside over his tribe, or to govern any city, and its appendages, that should be put into his hands.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 6-15 - Caleb's request is, "Give me this mountain," or Hebron, because it wa formerly in God's promise to him, and he would let Israel knows ho much he valued the promise. Those who live by faith value that which is given by God's promise, far above what is given by his providence only It was now in the Anakims' possession, and Caleb would let Israel know how little he feared the enemy, and that he would encourage them to push on their conquests. Caleb answered to his name, which signifie "all heart." Hebron was settled on Caleb and his heirs, because he wholly followed the Lord God of Israel. Happy are we if we follow him Singular piety shall be crowned with singular favour __________________________________________________________________
