Spotlight on Leadership: Caleb son of Jephunneh



Leader: Caleb son of Jephunneh

Tribe: Judah

Occupation: Spy, Ruler, Ancient of the Exodus

Introductory Scripture: Numbers 13:6 “Of the tribe of Judah, Caleb the son of Jephunneh.”

Childhood: We can conclude Caleb was born and raised in Egypt for a period of time. We can understand by reading, he among the multitude participated in the first Passover and crossed the Red Sea. Not much scriptural reference can be gather about Caleb’s personal childhood but through comprehending we know he witnessed the great plagues placed on Egypt

Adulthood:
Out of the multitudes Caleb son of Jephunneh was selected by the Heavenly Father through our beloved leader Moses to spy out the Land of Canaan.Send thou men, that they may search the land of Canaan, which I give unto the children of Israel: of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man, every one a ruler among them”. With the divine directions laid on his heart Caleb and eleven of his kinsmen scouted the land for forty days and as he hoped the land was flowing in abundance.  Returning with soldierly intel about the land set-ups ten of the tribesmen relayed disheartening news about the people of the land. Until Caleb stilled the people with a profound statement “Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.” Nevertheless, the other ten spies spewed out more slanders and disquieting news bringing an evil report upon the land. As the congregation lifted their voices in murmurs against Moses, Aaron and weeping that night conspired to make themselves a captain to return to Egypt! With vexation of heart Moses and Aaron fell on their faces, while Joshua son of Nun and Caleb rent their clothes. Caleb and his brotherly companion and soon to be first in command Joshua attempted to reassure the children of Israel with comforting words, but the congregation took upon stones against the brothers! This dissatisfied the Father greatly! After all was said and done the MOST HIGH pronounced the generation 20 years and older will NOT see the land because the slanders brought upon it by them! SAVE JOSHUA and CALEB! 

DEATH???
Caleb lived years after he first spied out the land and was of another spirit, wholly following the LORD GOD of Israel. Because of this he out lived the generation he foreknew. Alongside Joshua son of Nun, he went up into the promised land concurring the southern part of the land driving out the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak. Inheriting fields, the city, and villages thereof, and blessed his children therewith his heritage.
