In the first chapter of Deuteronomy we’ll see an interesting exception to God’s statement that “No one from this evil generation shall see the good land I swore to give your ancestors” (Deut 1:35). Caleb is singled out as being eligible to enter the Promised Land. God says, “He will see it, and I will give him and his descendants the land he set his feet on, because he followed the Lord wholeheartedly” (Deut 1:36). This endorsement at a time of rebellion, when many succumbed to the temptation of unbelief, makes the character of Caleb worth exploring. Daniel Block offers a helpful contrast between Caleb’s behavior and that of the Israelites as a whole.

  1. Complete the chart: record the answer for the right column with characteristics of Caleb that set him apart among the Israelites, using the two citations provided.
