The attribute of Joshua and Caleb that distinguished them from the other spies was D. The absolute trust they had in God. Twelve spies were sent to explore the land of Canaan. Joshua and Caleb were the only two spies who brought back a positive and faith-filled report, expressing their trust in God's ability to give them victory over the challenges in the land. The other spies were filled with fear and lacked the same level of faith and trust in God.
