Slide18 : THE FIRST HALF Numbers 13:1 - 14:32 Then the Lord spoke to Moses saying, “Send out for yourself men so that they might spy out the land of Canaan, which I am going to give to the sons of Israel; you shall send a man from each of their fathers’ tribes, every one a leader among them.” So 12 spies went up -- among them Caleb -- and spied out the land. When they returned from spying out the land, at the end of 40 days, they proceeded to come to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation of the sons of Israel in the wilderness at Paran, at Kadesh; and they brought back word to them and to all the congregation and showed them the fruit of the land.


Slide19 : THE FIRST HALF Numbers 13:1 - 14:32 Thus they told him, and said, “We went in to the land where you sent us; and it certainly does flow with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. Nevertheless, the people who live in the land are strong, and the cities are fortified and very large; and moreover, we saw the descendents of Anak there. Amalek is living in the land of the Negev and the Hittites and the Jebusites and the Amorites are living in the hill country, and the Canaanites are living by the sea and by the side of the Jordan.” Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “We should by all means go up and take possession of it, for we shall surely overcome it.”


Slide20 : THE FIRST HALF Numbers 13:1 - 14:32 But the men who had gone up with him said, “We are not able to go up against the people, for they are too strong for us.” So they gave out to the sons of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, “The land through which we have gone, in spying it out, is a land that devours its inhabitants; and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great size. We became in our own sight as grasshoppers …”


Slide21 : THE FIRST HALF Numbers 13:1 - 14:32 And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, of those who spied out the land, tore their clothes; and they spoke to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, saying, “The land which we passed through to spy out is an exceedingly good land. If the Lord is pleased with us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us -- a land which flows with milk and honey. Only do not rebel against the Lord;and do not fear the people of the land, for they shall be our prey. Their protection has been removed from them, and the Lord is with us; do not fear them.”


Slide22 : THE FIRST HALF Numbers 13:1 - 14:32 But all the congregation said to stone them with stones. And the Lord said, “Surely you shall not come into the land in which I swore to settle you, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun. Your children, however, whom you said would become a prey -- I will bring them in, and they shall know the land which you have rejected. But as for you, your corpses shall fall in this wilderness.”

Slide27 : THE SECOND HALF Joshua 14:6-15 “I was 40 years old when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land, and I brought word back to him as it was in my heart. Nevertheless my brethren who went up with me made the heart of the people melt with fear; but I followed the Lord my God fully. And now, behold, the Lord let me live, just as He spoke, these 45 years,from the time that the Lord spoke this word to Moses, when Israel walked in the wilderness; and now, behold, I am 85 years old today. I am as strong today as I was in the day Moses sent me; as my strength was then, so my strength is now, for war and for going out and coming in.”


Slide28 : THE SECOND HALF Joshua 14:6-15 “Now then, give me this hill country about which the Lord spoke on that day, for you heard on that day that Anakim were there, with great fortified cities; perhaps the Lord will be with me, and I shall drive them out as the Lord has spoken.” So Joshua gave Caleb the son of Jephunneh a portion among the sons of Judah, according to the command of the Lord to Joshua, namely, Kiriath-arba, Arba being the father of Anak (that is, Hebron). And Caleb drove out the sons of Anak.

Slide39 : NUMBERS 14:10, 24 But all the congregation said to stone them with stones. Then the glory of the Lord appeared in the tent of meeting to all the sons of Israel. And the Lord said, “But my servant, Caleb, because he has had a different spirit and has followed Me fully, I will bring into the land which he entered, and his descendents shall take possession of it.”
