Caleb

Caleb son of Jephunneh, of the tribe of Judah, was one of the twelve men Moses sent from the wilderness of Paran to scout Canaan. The spies brought back a cluster of grapes carried on a pole by two men, but ten of them reported a land of giants that "devours its inhabitants." Caleb hushed the people, "We can surely go up and take it," and with Joshua tore his clothes when they wanted to return to Egypt (Numbers 13–14). Of all the adults who left Egypt, only these two were allowed to enter the land. Forty-five years later, at 85, Caleb told Joshua he was as strong as on the day Moses sent him, asked for Hebron and drove out the three sons of Anak (Joshua 14–15).

The Torah holds Caleb up as the man who "followed the Lord fully" when the crowd did not. The Talmud (Sotah 34b) says he went alone to pray at the graves of the patriarchs in Hebron to be saved from the spies' plan, and rabbinic tradition makes him the husband of Miriam (Sotah 11b).
