“Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that the Lord said unto Moses the man of God concerning me and thee in Kadesh–barnea.”
Caleb's reminder of the covenant promise — 'Thou knowest the thing that the LORD said unto Moses the man of God concerning me and concerning thee in Kadesh-barnea. Caleb recalls the oath sworn at Kadesh-barnea. The specific invocation 'the LORD said unto Moses the man of God concerning me and concerning thee' establishes that both Joshua and Caleb are recipients of the promise. The reference to Kadesh-barnea—the place of Israel's initial faithlessness—makes Caleb's constancy more significant.
