This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Num_14:24 But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.
Ver. 24. Because he had another spirit.] Let us go up and possess it, saith he. {Num_13:30} As if it were no more than to go and see and conquer. {a} A free spirit is enkindled with that which quencheth others: as when a bowl runs downhill, every bounce quickens it, whereas if uphill, it would slug it.
And hath followed me fully.] Heb., Hath fulfilled after me. {b} A metaphor from a ship under sail, carried strongly with the wind, as fearing neither rocks nor sands.
And his seed.] Personal goodness is profitable to posterity. Who would not serve such a Lord?
{a} Veni, Vidi, Vici. I came, I saw, I conquered!
{a} Implevit post me.
