Caleb
The name Caleb in the Bible is of Hebrew origin, derived from the root word "keleb," which means "dog." However, this association is often interpreted positively, symbolizing loyalty and faithfulness, akin to the qualities of a dog as a faithful companion. Caleb is a prominent figure in the Old Testament, particularly known for his unwavering faith and bravery during the Israelite's journey to the Promised Land. He is one of the twelve spies sent by Moses to scout the land of Canaan (Numbers 13:6). Unlike the other spies who reported fearfully about the giants in the land, Caleb, along with Joshua, encouraged the Israelites to trust in God’s promise and proceed (Numbers 13:30; 14:6-9).Caleb's faithfulness is further highlighted when, after wandering in the wilderness for 40 years due to the Israelites' disobedience, he was one of the few who entered the Promised Land. At 85 years old, he requested the hilly region of Hebron, asserting his physical and spiritual strength (Joshua 14:10-12). This narrative emphasizes the themes of loyalty, perseverance, and faith in God's promises, which are central to Caleb's character and legacy in biblical history.
