Context

Only Caleb and Joshua Remain

⁶³These were the ones numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest when they counted the Israelites on the plains of Moab by the Jordan, across from Jericho.⁶⁴Among all these, however, there was not one who had been numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest when they counted the Israelites in the Wilderness of Sinai.⁶⁵For the LORD had told them that they would surely die in the wilderness. Not one was left except Caleb son of Jephunneh and Joshua son of Nun.

Summary

This verse reflects the consequences of the Israelites' disobedience and lack of faith during their time in the wilderness. The entire generation that had rebelled against God and doubted His promises perished, except for Caleb and Joshua. It serves as a sobering reminder of the importance of faith, obedience, and trust in God's guidance and provision. The Israelites' failure to enter the Promised Land due to their unbelief underscores the significance of staying faithful to God's word and following His lead without hesitation.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

among these there was not a man . . . numbered . . . in the wilderness of Sinai--The statement in this verse must not be considered absolute. For, besides Caleb and Joshua, there were alive at this time Eleazar and Ithamar, and in all probability a considerable number of Levites, who had no participation in the popular defections in the wilderness. The tribe of Levi, having neither sent a spy into Canaan, nor being included in the enumeration at Sinai, must be regarded as not coming within the range of the fatal sentence; and therefore it would exhibit a spectacle not to be witnessed in the other tribes of many in their ranks above sixty years of age.
