This reflects God's sustaining power and faithfulness. Caleb's vigor symbolizes the spiritual vitality available to those who wholly follow the Lord (<a href="/numbers/14-24.htm">Numbers 14:24</a>). His strength is a testament to a life lived in obedience and faith, contrasting with the fate of the other spies who doubted (<a href="/numbers/14-37.htm">Numbers 14:37</a>). Caleb's unwavering faith and physical strength serve as a type of Christ, who perfectly obeyed and trusted the Father.<p><b>As my strength was then, so it is now for war,</b><br>Caleb's readiness for battle at his advanced age highlights the importance of spiritual preparedness and reliance on God's promises. His confidence in God's provision for victory is reminiscent of David's faith against Goliath (<a href="/1_samuel/17-45.htm">1 Samuel 17:45-47</a>). Caleb's statement underscores the biblical theme that true strength comes from God (<a href="/philippians/4-13.htm">Philippians 4:13</a>).

It reflects the biblical concept of living under God's guidance and protection (<a href="/deuteronomy/28-6.htm">Deuteronomy 28:6</a>). Caleb's life, marked by faithfulness and divine favor, serves as an example of a life fully committed to God's purposes. This mirrors the life of Jesus, who perfectly fulfilled His mission, going out to minister and coming in to commune with the Father (<a href="/john/17-4.htm">John 17:4</a>).

Yet Joshua died at the age of 110, only 25 years older than Caleb was at this time. They were contemporaries. But the far greater responsibility lying upon Joshua (with a possible difference of temperament) may very naturally account for the one man's having aged so much more rapidly than the other.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/joshua/14.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 11.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">As yet am I as strong this day.</span> A vigorous and respected old age is ordinarily, by Nature's own law, the decreed reward for a virtuous youth and a temperate manhood.

And thus, with a body not enfeebled by indulgence, he presents himself before Joshua with undiminished strength, at a time when most men are sinking under the weight of their infirmities, and is ready still for battle with the most formidable foes. <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/joshua/14-11.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">still</span><br /><span class="heb">עוֹדֶ֨נִּי</span> <span class="translit">(‘ō·w·ḏen·nî)</span><br /><span class="parse">Adverb | first person common singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5750.htm">Strong's 5750: </a> </span><span class="str2">Iteration, continuance, again, repeatedly, still, more</span><br /><br /><span class="word">as strong</span><br /><span class="heb">חָזָ֗ק</span> <span class="translit">(ḥā·zāq)</span><br /><span class="parse">Adjective -
