Joshua and Caleb
1 Joshua, Nun's son, was powerful in battle, and he was Moses' successor in prophecy. As his name suggests, he was mighty to deliver the Lord's chosen ones, and to take revenge on enemies when they rose against them, so that he might give Israel an inheritance.
2
How glorious he was when he raised his hands and when he extended his sword against cities!
3
Who among those who came before stood as he did? Indeed, he fought the Lord's wars.
4
Wasn't the sun restrained by his hand, and one day lasted for two?
5
He called upon the Most High, the mighty one, when his enemies pressed in on him from every side, and the great Lord responded to him with hailstones of mighty power.
6
He rushed headlong against a nation in battle, and on a hill he destroyed those who opposed him, so that the nations might know how well-equipped he was, because his war was fought in the Lord's presence. Indeed, he was a follower of the mighty one.
7
In the days of Moses he performed acts of mercy, he and Caleb, Jephunneh's son. They opposed the congregation, restrained the people from sin, and put an end to their wicked grumbling.
8
So out of six hundred thousand soldiers, the two were spared to lead the people into their inheritance, into a land full of milk and honey.
9
The Lord gave Caleb strength, and it remained with him until he was old, so that he went up to the highlands, and his descendants had it as an inheritance.
10
In this way, all the Israelites could see that it is a good thing to follow the Lord.
