‏ Joshua 15:16-19

v. 18–19: Achsah, Caleb’s daughter, asks her father for more land with water springs after she gets married. Caleb generously gives her both the upper and lower springs (v. 19 a). This shows that it is good for families to work together for what is best, and that parents should be willing to give to their children when it is for their true good (Psalm 104:10–23 b).

Lessons from Caleb’s story: We learn that it is right to seek blessings in a fair way, that husbands and wives should agree on what is good for their families, and that parents should be generous when their children are obedient and respectful (1 Chronicles 4:15 c).
