Numbers 14:38

God's Word

Of all the men who went to explore the land, only Joshua (son of Nun) and Caleb (son of Jephunneh) survived.

See the chapter Copy

Caleb, son of Jephunneh, from the tribe of Judah;

They died because they had returned and made the whole community complain about Moses by spreading lies about the land.

When Moses told these things to all the Israelites, the people mourned bitterly, as if someone had died.

The Lord had said, “They must all die in the desert.” The only ones left were Caleb (son of Jephunneh) and Joshua (son of Nun).
