+

In chapter 12 the conquests of Transjordan are reviewed (verses 1-6), as well as the conquests in Canaan, with the roster of the kings who were conquered listed in verses 7-24.

+

In chapter 13 Joshua is instructed by the [[Lord]] to apportion the land they now possess, and is also told by the [[Lord]] that "there remaineth yet very much land to be possessed." The unpossessed land is outlined in verses 2-7.

+

In chapter 14 Joshua is giving each tribe its special inheritance, and Caleb comes to claim his share. He reminds Joshua of [[God]]'s promise, for it is only on the basis of [[God]]'s [[Word]] that we can claim our blessings. Note the glorious testimony of strength Caleb gives in verses 10 and 11. It has been 45 years since the nation's failure at Kadesh-Barnea, and Caleb is now 85 years old; yet he is anxious to claim his inheritance to the glory of [[God]]. [[God]] had promised him the inheritance, and Caleb had the [[faith]] to believe that what [[God]] promised He was able to perform.

+

Caleb was able to drive out the inhabitants of his inheritance, the very "giants" that the ten unbelieving spies had feared. Unbelief looks at the giants; [[faith]] looks to [[God]]. Unbelief depends on man's "common sense"; [[faith]] rests wholly on the [[Word]] of [[God]]. Caleb's dedication and [[faith]] saved his life, gained him an inheritance, overcame the enemy, and enabled him to enrich his own family for years to come.
