Joshua 14:11

As yet I am as strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me: as my strength was then, even so is my strength now, for war, both to go out, and to come in.

Cross-reference

Deuteronomy 31:2 has Moses saying he can no longer 'go out and come in' at 120, while Caleb at 85 claims he still can — a direct contrast in vigor.

Deuteronomy 34:7 notes Moses' undimmed eye and unabated strength at 120; similarly, Caleb at 85 retains his youthful strength for war.

Psalm 90:10 Contrast

Psalm 90:10 says human strength lasts 70-80 years with toil, but Caleb at 85 is still strong for battle — contradicting the norm.

2 Samuel 21:15 has David waxing faint in battle, while Caleb boasts he is still strong for war — opposite situations.

Job 33:25 Parallel

Job 33:25 promises a return to youthful vigor; Caleb's enduring strength for war echoes this restoration of youth.

Psalm 103:5 Parallel

Psalm 103:5 speaks of renewed youth like an eagle's; Caleb's claim of strength equal to his youth parallels this renewal theme.
