Numbers 26:65 — KJV
Caleb. God had promised to spare Caleb and Joshua, and allow them entrance into the land of Canaan on account of their courageous report (ch. 14:24, 30, 38). With these two men were Moses and Eleazar, as survivors of the first census, which was taken at Mount Sinai.
A generation had perished, aside from a few persons, under God’s protecting care, whom He had destined for greater things. Jehovah knows who are His (2 Tim. 2:19), ever keeping the names of His saints before Him (Ex. 33:17; Isa. 43:1) in the book of life (Rev. 3:5; Phil. 4:3). Caleb stands as a worthy example of loyalty to principle under the most adverse and trying circumstances.
