According to Moses, God was proud of Caleb because he was brave and listened to God with all his heart, so God promised that Caleb and his children would live in a special land. It's like when you listen to your parents and they reward you with a special treat or trip.

Numbers 14:24: But my servant Caleb, because he had another spirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I bring into the land whereinto he went; and his seed shall possess it.

Contradiction with Exodus 23:20-21

Promises of guidance and protection are conditional on obedience, which contradicts the notion of a singular person being promised entry unconditionally.

Exodus 23:20-21: Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.

Contradiction with Deuteronomy 1:36

Indicates Caleb's entry into the promised land along with Joshua, which might suggest a broader inclusion than stated solely for Caleb.

Deuteronomy 1:36: Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed the LORD. [wholly...: Heb. fulfilled to go after]

Contradiction with Hebrews 3:19

Emphasizes that unbelief prevented entry into the rest, contrasting with the singular emphasis on a specific spirit of following fully in Numbers 14:24.

Hebrews 3:19: So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.

Contradiction with 1 Samuel 15:29

States God does not change His mind, conflicting with the apparent renegotiation of who enters based on fidelity demonstrated by Caleb.

1 Samuel 15:29: And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent: for he [is] not a man, that he should repent. [Strength: or, Eternity, or, Victory]
