SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:13
Josué entonces le bendijo, y dio a Caleb hijo de Jefone a Hebrón por heredad.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Joshua 14:13
Verse 13. Joshua blessed him] As the word bless often signifies to speak good or well of or to any person, (see the note on Genesis ii. 3,) here it may mean the praise bestowed on Caleb's intrepidity and faithfulness by Joshua, as well as a prayer to God that he might have prosperity in all things; and especially that the Lord might be with him, as himself had expressed in the preceding verse.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 13. And Joshua blessed him , etc.] By granting him his request, congratulating him upon it, and praying for and wishing him success in his attempt to drive out the giants, and possess their country: and gave unto Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, Hebron for an inheritance ; being satisfied of the justness of his suit, of its being the will of God, and the order of Moses, that he should have this for an inheritance, which he had heard himself, had knowledge of, and well remembered: this is to be understood not of the city of Hebron itself, for that was given to the Levites, and was a city of refuge, but the country round about in the fields and villages annexed to it, as appears from ( Joshua 21:12).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-15 - Caleb's request is, "Give me this mountain," or Hebron, because it wa formerly in God's promise to him, and he would let Israel knows ho 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 signifie "all heart." Hebron was settled on Caleb and his heirs, because he wholly followed the Lord God of Israel.
