The nine tribes and a half to have their inheritance.
(1-5) Caleb obtains Hebron. (6-15)
Verses 1-5 The
Israelites must occupy the new conquests. Canaan would have been subdued in
vain, if it had not been inhabited. Yet every man might not go and settle where
he pleased. God shall choose our inheritance for us. Let us survey our heritage
of present mercy, our prospect for the land of promise, eternal in the heavens.
Is God any respecter of persons? Is it not better that our place, as to earthly
good or sorrow, should be determined by the infinite wisdom of our heavenly
Father, than by our own ignorance? Should not those for whom the great mystery
of godliness was exhibited, those whose redemption was purchased by Jesus
Christ, thankfully refer their earthly concerns to his appointment?
Verses 6-15
Caleb's request is, "Give me this mountain," or Hebron, because it was formerly
in God's promise to him, and he would let Israel knows how much he valued the
promise. Those who live by faith value that which is given by God's promise, far
above what is given by his providence only. It was now in the Anakims'
possession, and Caleb would let Israel know how little he feared the enemy, and
that he would encourage them to push on their conquests. Caleb answered to his
name, which signifies "all heart." Hebron was settled on Caleb and his heirs,
because he wholly followed the Lord God of Israel. Happy are we if we follow
him. Singular piety shall be crowned with singular favour.
