SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:7
Yo era de edad de cuarenta años, cuando Moisés siervo del SEÑOR me envió de Cades-barnea a reconocer la tierra; y yo le referí el negocio como lo tenía en mi corazón;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Joshua 14:7
Verse 7. As it was in mine heart.] Neither fear nor favour influenced him on the occasion; he told what he believed to be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 7. Forty years old [was] I when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadeshbarnea to espy out the land , etc.] Not he alone, but eleven more with him, one out of every tribe; his age he mentions, and of which, or near it, it is highly probable the rest of the spies were, to show that he and they were in the prime of their days, both as to bodily strength and intellectual capacity, which were requisite for such service as to spy out the land, of what quality that and its inhabitants were; and Moses he calls the servant of the Lord, because it was by the order and appointment of God, signified to Moses, that this was done; and the place from whence they were sent forth is named, which ascertains what that Kadesh was, where Israel was encamped when the spies were sent, ( Numbers 13:26); and I brought him word again, as [it was] in mine heart ; that is, he gave to Moses upon his return a sincere, honest and faithful representation of the land, and its inhabitants, as it appeared to him.
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 __________________________________________________________________
