Commentary on Joshua 14:8

Theological / Devotional

I wholly followed. Literally, “I fulfilled after.” The LXX reads, “I applied myself to follow.” The words give the idea of a traveler, who, intent upon following his guide, walks so closely in his steps as to leave hardly any space between. The value of the character of a man becomes manifest when, despite others’ failures, he stands for principle. Such was the character of Caleb.
