Contextual Overview

36 And the men which Moses had sent to search the land (which, when they came againe, made all the people to murmure against him, and brought vp a slander vpon the lande) 37 Euen those men that did bring vp that vile slander vpon the land, shall die by a plague before the Lorde. 38 But Ioshua the sonne of Nun, and Caleb the sonne of Iephunneh, of those men that went to search the land, shall liue. 39 Then Moses tolde these sayings vnto all the children of Israel, and the people sorowed greatly. 40 And they rose vp earely in the morning, and gate them vp into the toppe of the mountaine, saying, Loe, we be readie, to goe vp to the place which the Lorde hath promised: for wee haue sinned. 41 But Moses said, Wherefore transgresse yee thus the commandement of the Lorde? it will not so come well to passe. 42 Goe not vp (for the Lorde is not among you) lest ye be ouerthrowe before your enemies. 43 For the Amalekites & the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sworde: for in as much as ye are turned away from the Lord, the Lord also will not be with you. 44 Yet they presumed obstinately to goe vp to the top of the mountaine: but the Arke of the couenant of the Lorde, and Moses departed not out of the campe. 45 Then the Amalekites and the Canaanites, which dwelt in that mountaine, came downe & smote them, & consumed them vnto Hormah.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh,.... Here Joshua is set first, as Caleb is in Numbers 14:30; which shows that they were equal in dignity, and therefore are indifferently put, sometimes the one first, and sometimes the other:

[which were] of the men that went to search the land; were two of the spies, and were for the tribes of Judah and Ephraim, Numbers 13:6,

lived [still]; were not stricken with death, when the other spies were; though perhaps upon the very spot, and in the same place, and among them, when they were struck dead; but these remained alive, and continued many years after, and entered the good land, and possessed it.
