Contextual Overview

36 And the men whom Moses hath sent to spy the land, and they turn back and cause all the company to murmur against him, by bringing out an evil account concerning the land, 37 even the men bringing out an evil account of the land die by the plague before Jehovah; 38 and Joshua son of Nun, and Caleb son of Jephunneh, have lived of those men who go to spy out the land. 39 And Moses speaketh these words unto all the sons of Israel, and the people mourn exceedingly, 40 and they rise early in the morning, and go up unto the top of the mountain, saying, `Here we [are], and we have come up unto the place which Jehovah hath spoken of, for we have sinned.' 41 And Moses saith, `Why [is] this? -- ye are transgressing the command of Jehovah, and it doth not prosper; 42 go not up, for Jehovah is not in your midst, and ye are not smitten before your enemies; 43 for the Amalekite and the Canaanite [are] there before you, and ye have fallen by the sword, because that ye have turned back from after Jehovah, and Jehovah is not with you.' 44 And they presume to go up unto the top of the mountain, and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah and Moses have not departed out of the midst of the camp. 45 And the Amalekite and the Canaanite who are dwelling in that mountain come down and smite them, and beat them down -- unto 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.
