Joshua 14

Todays chapter was short, but very memorable. I was wondering if we would hear about Caleb again, the other spy - along with Joshua - who stayed loyal to God among those that Moses sent out to scout the promised land. It turns out that he was forty at the time of that mission, and now is eighty five (which basically answers my question about how long the conquest of the promised land took: at most five years). Not only has he lived to a ripe old age, but he is still as hale as he was before - we are told he can still fight and tend to his duties. God obviously blessed him for his steadfastness, and now he is rewarded with the choice lands that he had spied out nearly half a century before.
