How preachers through history handled this text
7 public-domain excerpts on Joshua 14, from the church fathers to the Puritans.
“Caleb's request is, "Give me this mountain," or Hebron, because it was formerly in God's promise to him, and he would let Israel knows how much he valued the promise. Those who live by faith value that which is given by God's promise, far above what is given by his providence only. It was now in the Anakims' possession, and Caleb would let Israel know how little he feared the enemy, and that he would encourage them to push on their conquests. …”
— Matthew Henry, Commentary on the Whole Bible (Concise), on Joshua 14:6–30 (Public Domain)
