Joshua 14 · Grade 2
Still Strong at Eighty-Five
Read the Story
Caleb came to Joshua. He said that long ago Moses sent him to look at the land. He was forty years old.
Some men made the people afraid. But Caleb followed God with all his heart. Moses said the land where Caleb walked would be his.
Now Caleb was eighty-five years old. He said he was still strong. He asked for this hill country. He said God would help him. Joshua blessed him. He gave Caleb the city of Hebron.
Memory Verse
“Therefore Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day, because he followed Yahweh, the God of Israel wholeheartedly.”
Joshua 14:14 (WEB)
