Numbers 14:6

“And Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, etc.] Rose up and interposed in this affair, looking upon themselves under a special obligation so to do, as they were capable of confronting the other spies, and contradicting what they had said: [which were] of them that searched the land; they were two of that number, and were the more concerned to hear such a false account given, and distressed to observe the mutiny of the people, and therefore judged themselves in duty bound to do all they could to stop it: rent their clothes; in token of sorrow for the sins of the people; and at their blasphemy and ingratitude against God, and in dread of his wrath and fury breaking forth upon…”

“Joshua . . . and Caleb, which were of them that searched the land, rent their clothes--The two honest spies testified their grief and horror, in the strongest manner, at the mutiny against Moses and the blasphemy against God; while at the same time they endeavored, by a truthful statement, to persuade the people of the ease with which they might obtain possession of so desirable a country, provided they did not, by their rebellion and ingratitude, provoke God to abandon them.”

“Rent their clothes - To testify their hearty grief for the peoples blasphemy against God and sedition against Moses, and that dreadful judgment which they easily foresaw this must bring upon the congregation. Numbers 14:8”

“14:6 Joshua and Caleb joined in the effort to reverse the rebellion and avert God’s wrath; they tore their clothing in a gesture of grief.”

“Joshua: Num 14:24, Num 14:30, Num 14:38, Num 13:6, Num 13:8, Num 13:30 rent their clothes: Gen 37:29, Gen 37:34, Gen 44:13; Jos 7:6; Jdg 11:35; Sa2 3:31; Kg2 18:37; Job 1:20; Joe 2:12, Joe 2:13; Mat 26:65 Numbers 14:7”
