\u201cThe British are coming!\u201d Paul Revere yelled as recorded in the famous Longfellow poem. But Revere did not ride alone and Revere did not actually finish the ride. Samuel Prescott, a fellow midnight rider, was able to evade British patrols and complete the journey to warn the colonists up the countryside. Despite Prescott\u2019s more successful ride, Revere gets all the praise.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Back in the book of Numbers, when the spies returned with their distorted report only two men stood up to the mob: Joshua and Caleb. In fact, it was Caleb that really did most of the talking. \u201cCaleb hushed the people before Moses and said, \u2018Let us by all means go up, and we shall gain possession of it, for we shall surely overcome it\u2019\u201d (Numbers 14:25). Perhaps Joshua was nervous to speak up in front of his teacher, but Caleb had no such qualms. Joshua only joined Caleb after Caleb spoke up the first time.\u00a0 Caleb and Joshua are forever linked thereafter as the only two who survive the forty-year sojourn. Joshua becomes the leader of the people, but except for a few repetitions of the story of the scouts, Caleb disappears from the story until now.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

The tribe of Judah accompanies Caleb to petition Joshua for Hebron. The commentators link this to a verse in the beginning of Deuteronomy for this promise: \u201cnone except Caleb\u2026to him and his descendants will I give the land on which he set foot, because he remained loyal to God\u201d (Deuteronomy 1:36). The \u201cland on which he set foot\u201d is then linked to Hebron via this verse: \u201cThey went up into the Negeb and he came to Hebron\u2026\u201d (Numbers 13:22). The verse\u00a0 begins in the plural referring to all the spies, but then continues in the singular. The commentators understand this switch to mean that only Caleb went to Hebron, either because he was not afraid of the warrior inhabitants, or because he went to pray at the Cave of the Patriarchs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

This midrash again shows Caleb\u2019s initiative without Joshua. Caleb went there completely on his own, which means Joshua did not accompany him. Perhaps Caleb is a little resentful that not only has Joshua gotten all the praise, but he also seems to have forgotten the promise made to his fellow scout. He needles Joshua a little more: \u201cI am still as strong today as on the day that Moses sent me; my strength is the same now as it was then, for battle and for activity\u201d (verse 11). This sounds like the description given of Moses at the end of his life and very different from the one given of Joshua at the start of chapter 13. Joshua must have understood the slight and decided to do more than just assign the land: \u201cSo Joshua blessed Caleb son of Jephuneh, and assigned Hebron to him as his portion.\u201d (verse 15). Joshua\u2019s blessing is a way to right this wrong and give Caleb the respect he deserves.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

At the beginning of Joshua\u2019s allotment of the land among the tribes of Israel, he begins by fulfilling an old debt. Alone of all the spies who had investigated the possibilities of settling in the Land of Israel, only Joshua and Caleb had chosen a positive perspective, one that affirmed that the children of Israel would find a suitable resting place there. Caleb steps forward, first even among the Tribe of Judah, to claim his right to a home. \u00a0\u201cOn that day, Moses promised [Caleb] on oath, \u2018The land on which your foot trod shall be a portion for you and your descendants forever\u2019 (Joshua 14:9).\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Caleb recounts that at the time of the initial reconnaissance into Israel, he was a strapping man of 40 years old. Now, many years later, he is an elder sage of 85 years. Yet, he claims, he has been uniquely blessed: \u201c\u2026here I am today, 85 years old. I am still as strong today as on the day that Moses sent me; my strength is the same now as it was then (Joshua 14:11).\u201d<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Linking his extraordinary resilience to his loyalty to an expansive vision of hope almost a half century earlier, Caleb can been understood as connecting his vitality to his optimism. Indeed, the commentary Be\u2019er Moshe interprets this as a claim about his ability to fight his yetzer ha-ra<\/em>, his evil inclination. At every age, a person\u2019s greatest battle is internal, a struggle to subdue their corrosive lusts or destructive urges, and to sublimate them for a greater good. In this reading, Caleb recognizes that his inner strength is the key to his rising to make the right choice.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Consequences flow from that inner resilience. He is given the city of Hebron, which becomes one of the Levitical cities of refuge in a later stage of Jewish history. Woven into the essence of the place is the idea of restraining lust for power and control, choosing instead the path of hope, restraint, and morality. For that reason, Hebron is honored to become a place where people falsely accused can flee and expect safety.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

After the gift of Hebron, we are told that \u201cthe land had rest from war (Joshua 14:15).\u201d Redemption, it seems, flows from inner restraint, resilience across the years, and creating a refuge from the swampland of human avarice, power, and greed. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

In singling out Caleb, the Book of Joshua invites us to internalize a better way.<\/span><\/p>","post_main_content_image":{"id":56227,"alt":"","title":"jud16-strength","caption":"","description":"","mime_type":"image\/png","url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud16-strength.png","width":954,"height":1280,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud16-strength-150x150.png","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud16-strength-224x300.png","medium-width":224,"medium-height":300,"medium_large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud16-strength-763x1024.png","medium_large-width":763,"medium_large-height":1024,"large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud16-strength-763x1024.png","large-width":763,"large-height":1024,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud16-strength.png","1536x1536-width":954,"1536x1536-height":1280,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud16-strength.png","2048x2048-width":954,"2048x2048-height":1280,"post_full_size":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud16-strength-894x1200.png","post_full_size-width":894,"post_full_size-height":1200,"home_baner":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud16-strength-313x420.png","home_baner-width":313,"home_baner-height":420}},"post_main_content_embedded_video":"","post_main_content_video_duration":"","post_main_content_show_fb_comments":"1","post_main_content_credit_media":"","tile_top_caption":"","tile_main_caption":"Resilience, Refuge, Restraint and Redemption","tile_main_caption_size":"1","tile_sub_caption":"Joshua\u2019s old buddy Caleb is a model of vigor and optimism","tile_preview_embedded":"","tile_preview_image":{"id":56227,"alt":"","title":"jud16-strength","caption":"","description":"","mime_type":"image\/png","url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud16-strength.png","width":954,"height":1280,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud16-strength-150x150.png","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud16-strength-224x300.png","medium-width":224,"medium-height":300,"medium_large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud16-strength-763x1024.png","medium_large-width":763,"medium_large-height":1024,"large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud16-strength-763x1024.png","large-width":763,"large-height":1024,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud16-strength.png","1536x1536-width":954,"1536x1536-height":1280,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud16-strength.png","2048x2048-width":954,"2048x2048-height":1280,"post_full_size":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud16-strength-894x1200.png","post_full_size-width":894,"post_full_size-height":1200,"home_baner":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/jud16-strength-313x420.png","home_baner-width":313,"home_baner-height":420}},"tile_preview_video":"","tile_external_link":"","tile_tile_gallery_items":"","tile_credits":"","alternate_tile_top_caption":"","alternate_tile_main_caption":"","alternate_tile_main_caption_size":"1","alternate_tile_sub_caption":"","alternate_tile_hide_media":"0","tile_group_preview_image_url":"","tile_group_main_caption":"","tile_group_sub_caption":"","tile_group_popup_package_extra_content":"","tile_group_read_time":"","home_color":"","home_gallery_top":"","home_gallery_middle":"","home_gallery_book":"","home_gallery_bottom":"","seo_seo_title":"","seo_seo_description":"","seo_seo_default_title":"","seo_seo_default_description":"","links":false,"tile_link_for_pay":"0","send_noty":false,"chapter_info":{"books_group":"Prophets","book":"Joshua","chapter":"14","chapter_main_number":"201","date":"20260607","wall_id":"201"},"link_for_pay":false,"tags":[{"term_id":"409","name":"Peace","old_id":"809"},{"term_id":"808","name":"Strength","old_id":"1208"},{"term_id":"809","name":"Caleb","old_id":"1209"}]},{"order":4,"id":"54113","color":"#e2f4fa","size":"1","name":"Caleb, Hebron, and Al-Khalil ","post_title":"Caleb, Hebron And Al-Khalil","slug":"caleb-hebron-and-al-khalil","old_id":"54113","type":"no","iframe":"","writer":{"id":34243,"post_title":"Moshe Sokolow","slug":"moshe-sokolow","old_id":"34243","first_name":"Moshe","last_name":"Sokolow","description":"Dr. Moshe Sokolow is Associate Dean of the Azrieli Graduate School of Jewish Education and Administration, Yeshiva University, and teaches a weekly class in parashat hashavu`a at Lincoln Square Synagogue.

In Chapter 12, we introduced the subject of \u201conomastica,\u201d the study of proper nouns, which we illustrated via the Amorite city of Heshbon. The names that will concern us in this chapter are those of Caleb, erstwhile scout, and the city of Hebron, which was vouchsafed to him by Moses in reward for his steadfastness (Numbers 14:24).<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Caleb (Hebrew: K-L-B) is clearly related to the noun <\/span>kelev<\/span><\/i>, dog, an association that we might find less outlandish if we recall that many contemporary names have animal origins as well. For instance, Zoe (from the same Greek root that gives us zoo) is the equivalent of <\/span>Hava<\/span><\/i>\/<\/span>Haya<\/span><\/i> (animal), but back in Hebrew: <\/span>Ze`ev<\/span><\/i> is a wolf, <\/span>Dov<\/span><\/i> is a bear, <\/span>Devorah<\/span><\/i> is a bee, and <\/span>Zvi<\/span><\/i> is a deer. Perhaps coincidentally, the most striking conglomeration of animal names in the Bible occurs among the names of the scouts Caleb accompanied (Numbers 13), including: Gadi and Gadiel (kid), Susi (horse), and Gemali (camel). (If we stretch beyond Hebrew into Aramaic, we could add one more to that company: Nun, father of Joshua, means \u201cfish\u201d).<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Hebron, from the Hebrew root CH-B-R, implies attachment or friendship (which is a social attachment), and its origin probably lies in the social relationship of its four original inhabitants, on account of which it was first called Kiryat Arba (v. 14, and 15:13-14). However, unlike Heshbon (a name Hebron also resembles structurally), which was just given an Arabic sound (<\/span>Hisban<\/span><\/em>), Hebron was translated into Arabic in which <\/span>Khalil<\/span><\/em> means a companion. (There are sources in which its name is given, more specifically, as <\/span>Khalil Al-Rahman<\/span><\/em>, The Companion of the Compassionate, i.e., God.)<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Here, we have an example of how Muslim practice perpetuated a Jewish tradition. According to a Midrash (Bereishit Rabbah 84:14), Hebron was so called because Abraham was regarded as a companion of God (<\/span>haver na\u2019eh<\/span><\/em>). Since he was already regarded as an ancestor of the Arabs and is recognized in the Qur\u2019an as a true prophet, they decided to honor him by calling his city after his pseudonym. Likewise, the Arabic name for the western gate of the Old City of Jerusalem\u2014<\/span>Sha`ar Yaffo<\/span><\/em> in Hebrew\u2014is <\/span>Bab al-Khalil<\/span><\/em>, Hebron gate.<\/span><\/p>","post_main_content_image":{"id":54114,"alt":"","title":"jo14-hebron","caption":"","description":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/jo14-hebron.jpg","width":970,"height":371,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/jo14-hebron-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/jo14-hebron-300x115.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":115,"medium_large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/jo14-hebron-768x294.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":294,"large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/jo14-hebron.jpg","large-width":970,"large-height":371,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/jo14-hebron.jpg","1536x1536-width":970,"1536x1536-height":371,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/jo14-hebron.jpg","2048x2048-width":970,"2048x2048-height":371,"post_full_size":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/jo14-hebron.jpg","post_full_size-width":970,"post_full_size-height":371,"home_baner":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/jo14-hebron.jpg","home_baner-width":970,"home_baner-height":371}},"post_main_content_embedded_video":"","post_main_content_video_duration":"","post_main_content_show_fb_comments":"1","post_main_content_credit_media":"","tile_top_caption":"","tile_main_caption":"Caleb, Hebron And Al-Khalil","tile_main_caption_size":"1","tile_sub_caption":"Faithfulness, fellowship, and friends of God and people","tile_preview_embedded":"","tile_preview_image":{"id":54114,"alt":"","title":"jo14-hebron","caption":"","description":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/jo14-hebron.jpg","width":970,"height":371,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/jo14-hebron-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/jo14-hebron-300x115.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":115,"medium_large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/jo14-hebron-768x294.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":294,"large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/jo14-hebron.jpg","large-width":970,"large-height":371,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/jo14-hebron.jpg","1536x1536-width":970,"1536x1536-height":371,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/jo14-hebron.jpg","2048x2048-width":970,"2048x2048-height":371,"post_full_size":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/jo14-hebron.jpg","post_full_size-width":970,"post_full_size-height":371,"home_baner":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/jo14-hebron.jpg","home_baner-width":970,"home_baner-height":371}},"tile_preview_video":"","tile_external_link":"","tile_tile_gallery_items":"","tile_credits":"","alternate_tile_top_caption":"","alternate_tile_main_caption":"","alternate_tile_main_caption_size":"1","alternate_tile_sub_caption":"","alternate_tile_hide_media":"0","tile_group_preview_image_url":"","tile_group_main_caption":"","tile_group_sub_caption":"","tile_group_popup_package_extra_content":"","tile_group_read_time":"","home_color":"","home_gallery_top":"","home_gallery_middle":"","home_gallery_book":"","home_gallery_bottom":"","seo_seo_title":"","seo_seo_description":"","seo_seo_default_title":"","seo_seo_default_description":"","links":false,"tile_link_for_pay":"0","send_noty":false,"chapter_info":{"books_group":"Prophets","book":"Joshua","chapter":"14","chapter_main_number":"201","date":"20260607","wall_id":"201"},"link_for_pay":false,"tags":[{"term_id":"361","name":"Hebrew language","old_id":"761"},{"term_id":"430","name":"Land of Israel","old_id":"830"},{"term_id":"551","name":"Names","old_id":"951"}]},{"order":5,"id":"54109","color":"#e2f4fa","size":"1","name":"The Spies: Final Episode ","post_title":"The Spies: Final Episode","slug":"the-spies-final-episode","old_id":"54109","type":"no","iframe":"","writer":{"id":53309,"post_title":"Michael Hattin","slug":"michael-hattin","old_id":"53309","first_name":"Michael ","last_name":"Hattin ","description":"Rabbi Michael Hattin teaches Tanakh at Pardes in Jerusalem and serves as the Director of the Beit Midrash for the Pardes Center for Jewish Educators.

While Joshua continued to occupy a prominent role in the account of the wilderness (Num. 27:15-23; 32:28; 34:17) and eventually succeeded Moses as leader of Israel, Caleb passed from the Torah's narratives until this episode in the Book of Joshua. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Caleb now asks Joshua for a very particular plot of land: Hebron. In our passage, Caleb maintains that Hebron was pledged to him by Moses himself. When Moses recounts the incident of the spies in Deuteronomy, he makes clear that the pledge came from God. Mysteriously, however, the travels of Caleb to Hebron that are here understood to be an unassailable fact and the basis of his claim to that territory are never mentioned explicitly in the original account of the episode of the spies. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Why would the text of the Book of Numbers leave these critical details unmentioned? Conversely, why does the account of the tribal territories in the Book of Joshua begin with that very detail? <\/span><\/p>\r\n

It is the midrash mentioned by Rashi (Num. 13:22) and drawn from the Talmud that alerts us to a possible solution: <\/span><\/p>\r\n

\"He arrived at Hebron\" \u2014 This refers to Caleb who went there alone and threw himself down at the graves of his ancestors, imploring God to preserve him from the seductive counsel of his cohorts. (Sota 34b) <\/span><\/p>\r\n

The account of the spies, their crisis of confidence precipitated by a lack of trust, is no place to highlight the heroism of Caleb, who was so obviously filled with a \"different spirit.\" Their counsel won the day, that generation was plunged into the abyss, and Caleb's visit to Hebron was therefore concealed by the text. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

Our passage in the Book of Joshua is Numbers' textual antithesis and the redemptive reversal of its calamity. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

The section therefore begins with a moving recollection of Caleb's visit to Hebron some forty-five years earlier, an expedition that not only offers dazzling proof of his own mettle but also provided the people of Israel with a paradigm for the nurture of their own spiritual fortitude. Caleb is still alive to recount those ancient events, standing before them with his vigor undiminished and his trust in God undimmed, while his erstwhile comrades and their fearful followers have perished long, long ago. <\/span><\/p>\r\n

What more fitting way to introduce this great undertaking than by emphasizing its necessary underpinnings of an unshakable faith? <\/span><\/p>\r\n

    \r\n\t
  1. Those were the days<\/span><\/i>. Caleb and Joshua were the two spies who together expressed loyalty to the divine promise of inheriting the land. <\/span>
    \r\n<\/span>Where are they now? Caleb says of himself in verse 11: \u201cI am still as strong today as on the day that Moses sent me; my strength is the same now as it was then, for battle and for activity.\u201d <\/span>
    \r\n<\/span>Contrast what is said of Joshua in the previous chapter: \u201cJoshua was now old, advanced in years\u2026.very much of the land still remains to be taken possession of.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t
  2. Forget anything? <\/span><\/i>Speaking in the singular as he does, Caleb speech curiously omits Joshua: \u201cI was forty years old when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land, and I gave him a forthright report. While my companions who went up with me took the heart out of the people, I was loyal to the LORD my God\u201d (verses 7-8).<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t
  3. Consistent and insistent<\/span><\/i>. Caleb requests to deal with those exact threats that the other spies had been afraid of then, the giants and the fortified cities: \u201cSo assign to me this hill country as the LORD promised on that day. Though you too heard on that day that Anakites are there and great fortified cities, if only the LORD is with me, I will dispossess them, as the LORD promised.\u201d Compare with Numbers 13:28.<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t
  4. Four (arba\u2019) is not a number<\/span><\/i>. It\u2019s actually the name of \u201cthe great[est] man among the Anakites,\u201d whose name was memorialized in the name Kiryat Arba, both then and now.<\/span><\/li>\r\n\t
  5. A little math lesson<\/span><\/i>. Caleb\u2019s CV is the basis for the following calculation (which the sages had already come to in the Talmud, \u00a0Zevachim 118b): Caleb was 40 at the time of the story of the spies (verse 10), and he\u2019s now 85. The wandering in the desert (punishment for the sin of the spies) lasted 38 years, since it happened two years after the Exodus. Thus we can conclude that Joshua\u2019s wars of conquest lasted seven years, since 40 + 38 + 7 = 85.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>","post_main_content_image":{"id":86314,"alt":"","title":"Points to ponder","caption":"","description":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder.jpg","width":1000,"height":1000,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder-300x300.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":300,"medium_large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder-768x768.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":768,"large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder.jpg","large-width":1000,"large-height":1000,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder.jpg","1536x1536-width":1000,"1536x1536-height":1000,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder.jpg","2048x2048-width":1000,"2048x2048-height":1000,"post_full_size":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder.jpg","post_full_size-width":1000,"post_full_size-height":1000,"home_baner":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder-420x420.jpg","home_baner-width":420,"home_baner-height":420}},"post_main_content_embedded_video":"","post_main_content_video_duration":"","post_main_content_show_fb_comments":"1","post_main_content_credit_media":"","tile_top_caption":"Chapter 14","tile_main_caption":"Points to Ponder","tile_main_caption_size":"1","tile_sub_caption":"Insights and questions for personal reflection and group discussion","tile_preview_embedded":"","tile_preview_image":{"id":86314,"alt":"","title":"Points to ponder","caption":"","description":"","mime_type":"image\/jpeg","url":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder.jpg","width":1000,"height":1000,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder-300x300.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":300,"medium_large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder-768x768.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":768,"large":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder.jpg","large-width":1000,"large-height":1000,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder.jpg","1536x1536-width":1000,"1536x1536-height":1000,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder.jpg","2048x2048-width":1000,"2048x2048-height":1000,"post_full_size":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder.jpg","post_full_size-width":1000,"post_full_size-height":1000,"home_baner":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Points-to-ponder-420x420.jpg","home_baner-width":420,"home_baner-height":420}},"tile_preview_video":"","tile_external_link":"","tile_tile_gallery_items":"","tile_credits":"","alternate_tile_top_caption":"","alternate_tile_main_caption":"","alternate_tile_main_caption_size":"1","alternate_tile_sub_caption":"","alternate_tile_hide_media":"0","tile_group_preview_image_url":"","tile_group_main_caption":"","tile_group_sub_caption":"","tile_group_popup_package_extra_content":"","tile_group_read_time":"","home_color":"","home_gallery_top":"","home_gallery_middle":"","home_gallery_book":"","home_gallery_bottom":"","seo_seo_title":"","seo_seo_description":"","seo_seo_default_title":"","seo_seo_default_description":"","links":false,"tile_link_for_pay":"0","send_noty":false,"chapter_info":{"books_group":"Prophets","book":"Joshua","chapter":"14","chapter_main_number":"201","date":"20260607","wall_id":"201"},"link_for_pay":false,"tags":false}],"hide_acf":true,"home_image":false,"home_posts":false,"home_posts_title":"","posts_home":[],"static_cube_title":"","static_cube_brief":"","static_cube_color":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wall\/53817"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wall"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/wall"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53817"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
