The story in a nutshell
Caleb came to Joshua in Gilgal and remembered how Moses sent him from Kadesh-barnea to espy out the land when he was forty years old, and how "I wholly followed the LORD my God." Now he was fourscore and five years old (85), and he said, "As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me." The Anakims were in that land, but Caleb said, "Now therefore give me this mountain," and "if so be the LORD will be with me, then I shall be able to drive them out."
