BIBLE MEN NAMED CALEB:



CALEB,  SPY &
SON OF  JEPHUNNEH


NUMBERS 13: 1-6



1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 
“Send men to spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the children of Israel; from each tribe of their fathers you shall send a man, every one a leader among them.”

So Moses sent them from the Wilderness of Paran according to the command of the Lord, all of them men who were heads of the children of Israel. 
Now, these were their names: from the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur; 
from the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori; 
from the tribe of Judah, Caleb the
son of Jephunneh.



NUMBERS 14:  6 & 24



6 But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunnehwho were among those who had spied out the land, tore their clothes;

24 But My servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit in him and has followed Me fully, I will bring into the land where he went, and his descendants shall inherit it.




NUMBERS 32: 11-12



11 ‘Surely none of the men who came up from Egypt, from twenty years old and above, shall see the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, because they have not wholly followed Me, 
12 except Caleb the son of Jephunneh, the Kenizzite, and Joshua the son of Nun, for they have wholly followed the Lord.’ 


JOSHUA 14: 6 & 13


6 Then the children of Judah came to Joshua in Gilgal. And Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him: “You know the word which the Lord said to Moses the man of God concerning you and me in Kadesh Barnea.

13 And Joshua blessed him, and gave Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephunneh as an inheritance.



1 CHRONICLES 4: 15



The sons of Caleb the 
son of Jephunneh were Iru, Elah, and Naam. The son of Elah was Kenaz.
