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
