Yehoshua 14:14 Meaning and Commentary

Joshua 14:14

Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of
Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day
The time of the writing of this book:

because he wholly followed the Lord God of Israel;
as in ( Joshua 14:8 Joshua 14:9 ) ; Hebron signifies fellowship or communion; and this in a spiritual sense is very desirable by all the people of God, as Hebron was by Caleb, even communion with God, Father, Son and Spirit, with angels and saints, both now and hereafter; and they are willing to engage with their spiritual enemies in the name and strength of Christ, though ever so potent, may they but enjoy this blessing, and which is more or less granted, to all the hearty, sincere, and faithful followers of Christ; see ( John 14:21-23 ) ( 1 John 1:3 1 John 1:7 ) .

Yehoshua 14:14 In-Context

12 Now therefore give me hahar hazeh (this mountain), whereof Hashem spoke in that day; for thou heardest in that day how the Anakim were there, and that the cities were gedolot and fortified; but, Hashem with me, I shall be able to drive them out, just as Hashem said.

13 And Yehoshua put a bracha on him, and gave unto Kalev ben Yephunneh Chevron for a nachalah.

14 Chevron therefore became the nachalah of Kalev ben Yephunneh the Kenezi unto this day, because that he wholly followed Hashem Elohei Yisroel.

15 And the shem of Chevron before was Kiryat Arba; which Arba was ha’adam hagedol among the Anakim. And HaAretz had rest from milchamah.
