In the Bible, Caleb is one of the twelve spies sent by Moses to explore the land of Canaan. He is noted for his unwavering faith in God's promise to deliver the land to the Israelites, despite the daunting challenges.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Caleb is a prominent figure in the Old Testament, particularly in the books of Numbers and Joshua. As a member of the tribe of Judah, Caleb's faith and courage set him apart from the other spies. His trust in God earned him a special inheritance in the Promised Land. Caleb's account is set during the Israelites' wilderness wanderings and their subsequent conquest of Canaan, a period marked by divine guidance and fulfillment of God's promises to the patriarchs.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/3612.htm">Kaleb</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>desc. of Caleb<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Calebite (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">כָּלִבִּי</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>adjective, of a people</b></font> of <font class="hebrew2">כָּלֵב</font> <a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/25-3.htm">1 Samuel 25:3</a> Qr (Kt <font class="hebrew2">כְּלִבּוֺ</font>). <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>of the house of Caleb <p>Probably by erroneous transcription for Kalebiy {kaw-lay-bee'};
