Caleb: 1 (Caleb Lambert Thriller)

Product Information

In the aftermath of the conquest, Caleb asks Joshua to give him a mountain in property within the land of Judah, and Joshua blesses him as a sign of God's blessing and approval, giving him Hebron ( Joshua 14). Since Hebron itself was one of the Cities of Refuge to be ruled by the Levites, it is later explained that Caleb actually was given the outskirts ( Joshua 21:11–13). Caleb promised his daughter Achsah in marriage to whoever would conquer the land of Debir from the giants. This was eventually accomplished by Othniel Ben Kenaz, Caleb's nephew ( Judges 1:13), who became Caleb's son-in-law as well ( Joshua 15:16,17).

I love how Caleb is recounting this promise to Joshua as a reason for his next ask. Caleb stands on and in the promise of God and is not willing to lose out on all that God has for him, no matter what stands in his way. Traditional Jewish sources record a number of stories about Caleb which expand on the biblical account.Such acts, he says, “are moments in which we fail each other, and I don’t think that’s happened on its own. It’s directly influenced by state violence, whether that be the government making it harder for marginalised communities, or police stop-and-searching someone yet again, and that person not knowing where to put the anger and reaching for the person closest to them.” Verse 30 of chapter 13 reads "And Caleb stilled the people toward Moses, and said: 'We should go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it. '" [5] Caleb and Joshua said the people should trust God and go into the land; the other ten spies, being fearful and rebellious, argued that conquering the land was impossible and immoral. Caleb silenced the murmuring, fearful men by saying, “We should go up and take possession of the land, for we can certainly do it” (Numbers 13:30). Caleb took his stand because he followed the Lord wholeheartedly (Joshua 14:8–9). Caleb knew of the promises of God to the Israelites, and, despite the evidence of his own eyes regarding the obstacles, he had faith that God would give them victory over the Canaanites.

Caleb was a man who didn’t let anything get in the way of what God had for him, and even at the age of 85, he was still working for the Lord and fighting the battles that God had put before Him knowing that the Lord was helping Him. Here’s the thing, Caleb won’t just accept any contract. He and his team thoroughly vet each and every prospective mark to make sure they deserve to be punished. Caleb ( / ˈ k eɪ l ə b/), sometimes transliterated as Kaleb( Hebrew: כָּלֵב, Kalev, Hebrew pronunciation: [kaˈlev]; Tiberian vocalization: Kālēḇ; Hebrew Academy: Kalev), is a figure who appears in the Hebrew Bible as a representative of the Tribe of Judah during the Israelites' journey to the Promised Land. As a debut, the book has been called "truly exceptional," [4] "exciting, ambitious," [6] "breathtaking," [13] and "searing." [5]Revealing his true, loveable, funny, and down-to-earth self, this event promises to be full of deadpan gags and unique observations that will have you crying with laughter. Traditional Jewish accounts [ edit ] Traditional tomb of Caleb, Kifl Haris, one candidate for biblical Timnat Serah A reference to him is also found in the Quran, although his name is not mentioned ( Al-Ma'idah: 20–26).
