What does Caleb mean in Greek?
Despite many name books listing the meaning of Caleb as "dog", in fact this is a matter of mistranslation of the original Hebrew. The ancient meaning of the name Caleb is "whole hearted" or "faithful". The Biblical account of Caleb in Numbers 13:6 and 13:30 shows that Caleb was willing to serve and follow God with his whole heart. He and Joshua faced disagreement from the ten other spies who were sent to reconnoitre Canaan, and who felt the inhabitants were like giants and therefore unconquerable. Caleb's response, by contrast, showed that he knew the Israelites could conquer Canaan with God's help.

Who is Joshua in The Bible?
As the Israelites left Egypt on their exodus, Joshua was one of the twelve spies sent by Moses to reconnoiter the land of Canaan. Joshua and Caleb were the only two who had confidence that God would give Israel the land of Canaan despite its formidable inhabitants. Because of their faith God allowed Joshua and Caleb to enter the promised land, but he vowed that the others of Joshua's generation would die in the wilderness. God instructed Moses to designate Joshua as his successor. Joshua led the Israelites into the promised land. The book of Joshua recounts his victories at Jericho, Ai, and other places.
What is the book in which Caleb Joshua and other leaders surveyed Canaan?

When did Caleb die in the Bible?
The standard Christian Bible does not mention when Caleb died. Joshua 14:10 identifies that, at 85 years of age, Caleb was just as strong as he was at the age of 40. So, we know that he lived until he was at least 85. How long he lived after that is anybody's guess.

What commandment did God give Joshua after Moses died?

Who were Caleb and Joshua?
They were two of the twelve spies sent in Numbers ch.13 to check out the land of Canaan; and it was they, unlike the other spies, who gave a completely favorable report (ibid). Joshua, of the tribe of Ephraim, later went on to succeed Moses as leader (Numbers ch.27) and has one of the books of the Bible named after him. Caleb, according to tradition, was of the tribe of Judah, and married Miriam (the sister of Moses). Hur (Exodus ch.17) was Caleb's son; and Bezalel (Exodus ch.30) was a descendant of his. Caleb was one of the two people sent to spy in the city of Jericho in Joshua ch.2. Caleb and Joshua were men of faith, they were the only two men that came out of Egypt that God permitted to go into the promised land, except those that came out as children. Everyone else, including Moses, died in the wilderness. Deuteronomy 1:34:39
What was Joshua's strength and weaknesses in the bible?
Joshua was a friend of Moses, and was one of the spies sent into the Promised Land. He has his sidekick, Caleb, were the only two who said that with God's help that they could take the land that had been promised to them. God was so upset with the Israelites' lack of faith in Him, that He caused the Israelites to wander for forty years in the wilderness, until the only people who had left Egypt and were still alive were Moses, Joshua and Caleb. Moses went up to the mountain to see the land and died there, leaving Joshua to lead the Israelites in. Faith and loyalty were his strengths.
How old were those who entered the promised land?
In Numbers 13:25-33 we read that 10 of the 12 spies sent up to the land by Moses reported that the people there were too strong for the Israelites to overcome.In Numbers Chapter 14 we read that nearly all the people were frightened and rebelled. Joshua and Caleb had confidence that they could do it with God's help. As a consequence, in Numbers 13:29-30 God told them that none of those then present from the age of 20 and upwards would enter into the promised land except Joshua and Caleb and that they would wander in the wilderness for 40 years. From this we can calculate that except for Joshua and Caleb, all the Israelites who entered the promised land were no older than 59.
Kenizzite Jephunnas son of Caleb?
Caleb was the son of Jephunneh, Kenizzites. One of the only 2 survivors to see the promised land from the original peoples of the Exodus. The other being Joshua.He is also the only gentile convert or non Israelite to receive part of the Promised Land as an inheritance. The Hebron mountain area.Was in recognition for his faithfulness to follow the one True God and for his honesty reguarding what he had seen in The Promised Land along with Joshua."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 descendants shall take possession of it. (NASB ©1995)Numbers 14:6 Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, of those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes;Numbers 26:65 For the LORD had said of them, "They shall surely die in the wilderness." And not a man was left of them, except Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun.Numbers 32:12 except Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite and Joshua the son of Nun, for they have followed the LORD fully.'Deuteronomy 1:36 except Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him and to his sons I will give the land on which he has set foot, because he has followed the LORD fully.'Joshua 14:6 Then the sons of Judah drew near to Joshua in Gilgal, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, "You know the word which the LORD spoke to Moses the man of God concerning you and me in Kadesh-barnea. (NASB ©1995)
Where did Joshua son of nun get his courage?
In Joshua 1:1-9 God encouraged Joshua. God spoke directly to Joshua encouraging him to enter the promise land with the people of Israel. The words that God used were - "I will give you every place where you set your foot", "No one will be able to stand up against you", "As I was with Moses so I will be with you", "Be strong and courageous because you will lead these people to inerit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them". There were more encouraging words that God used to speak to Joshua so that he would have courage. The question I ask is why did God use these words? God chose His words carefully before speaking to Joshua. God would only use such words if He knew that Joshua needed it. Maybe Joshua was not sure of the task ahead? But the bible shows us that God encouraged Joshua. It is amazing how much God knows us and understands us. God knew what was going through the mind of Joshua. So God encouraged him. If there was anywhere that Joshua must have found courage it was in Joshua chapter 1 when God encouraged him. In verse 10 after God had encoraged Joshua - the bible tells us that Joshua got up and told the leaders of Israel to get ready for in three days time they would cross the Jordan river and take possession of the promised land. After God had encouraged Joshua - Joshua had the courage to cross over and take possession of the promise land. God gave Joshua courage.
