According to value of purpose in respect to our teaching in view , we realise that People who are honest in relation to the tasks given to them by their bosses are rewarded.
The bible stipulates purpose of due in perspective to what Caleb and the other men were instructed to do. They were instructed to spy out Canaan and when they returned from their findings, we realise that Caleb gave an honest report about the findings while the other men didn’t give an honest report about the findings and so as a result of Calebs report, He was promised land and therefore given the city of Hebron.
Joshua 14:13-15 [13]Then Joshua blessed him and gave Hebron to Caleb son of Jephunneh for an inheritance.[14]So Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day, because he wholly followed the Lord, the God of Israel.
[15]The name of Hebron before was Kiriath-arba [city of Arba]. This Arba was the greatest of the Anakim. And the land had rest from war.
