Exegetical and Hermeneutical Commentary of Numbers 14:38
But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, [which were] of the men that went to search the land, lived [still].
But Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh,…. Here Joshua is set first, as Caleb is in Nu 14:30; which shows that they were equal in dignity, and therefore are indifferently put, sometimes the one first, and sometimes the other:
[which were] of the men that went to search the land; were two of the spies, and were for the tribes of Judah and Ephraim, Nu 13:6,
lived [still]; were not stricken with death, when the other spies were; though perhaps upon the very spot, and in the same place, and among them, when they were struck dead; but these remained alive, and continued many years after, and entered the good land, and possessed it.

Reader! do not overlook the care of a gracious GOD, which he exerciseth in the same moment with his chosen ones, while punishing the ungodly. That’s a sweet scripture to this effect: Mal 3:17-18 .
