Caleb - wholly followed the Lord - See on Numbers 14:24 (note).

Save Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, he shall see it,.... Enter into it, and enjoy it:
and Joshua also; who was the other spy with him, that brought a good report of the land; see Deuteronomy 1:38,
and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children: not the whole land of Canaan, but that part of it which he particularly came to and searched; and where the giants were, and he saw them, and notwithstanding was not intimidated by them, but encouraged the people to go up and possess it; and the part he came to particularly, and trod on, was Hebron, Numbers 13:22 and which the Targum of Jonathan, Jarchi, and Aben Ezra, interpret of that; and this was what was given to him and his at the division of the land, Joshua 14:13,
because he hath wholly followed the Lord; see Numbers 14:24.

Save Caleb - Under whom Joshua is comprehended, though not here expressed, because he was not now to be one of the people, but to be set over them as a chief governor.
