Definitions for Numbers 13:30
Wesley's Numbers 13:30 Bible Commentary
13:30 Caleb — Together with Joshua, as is manifest from Numbers 14:6,7,30, but Caleb alone is here mentioned, possibly because he spake first and most, which he might better do, because he might be presumed to be more impartial than Joshua, who being Moses's minister might be thought to speak only what he knew his master would like.
Stilled the people — Which implies either that they had began to murmur, or that by their looks and carriage, they discovered the anger which boiled in their breasts.
Before Moses — Or, towards Moses, against whom they were incensed, as the man who had brought them into such sad circumstances.
Let us go up and possess it — He does not say, Let us go up and conquer it. He looks on that to be as good as done already: but, Let us go up and possess it! There is nothing to be done, but to enter without delay, and take the possession which our great Lord is now ready to give us! Thus difficulties that lie in the way of salvation, vanish away before a lively faith.
