What Does Joshua 14:13 Mean?
Joshua answers the request with a blessing and a grant: Hebron becomes Caleb's inheritance. The two old companions, who alone of their generation had trusted God at Kadesh-barnea, now stand together as the promise is fulfilled. The blessing seals the gift with words of favor.
Hebron is no small prize; it is hallowed ground, where Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob were buried, and it sits at the heart of the Anakim country Caleb had asked to conquer. God gives his faithful servant a portion rich in history and heavy with challenge. The Lord honors wholehearted faith openly, and what he grants he also blesses, so that the inheritance is received with the favor of God upon it.
