Caleb, son of Jephunneh, is an important figure in the Hebrew Bible, noted for his faith in God when the Hebrews refused to enter the promised land of Canaan. If there was ever a Bible character that displayed a right attitude or "different spirit" toward God and His Word, it would have to be Caleb. Caleb's courage was first displayed after his return from his spy mission into the Promised Land. He was willing to take a stand with God when the crowd was more than willing to oppose God's will. The "key" to our understanding of Caleb's character is found in Numbers 14:24.
