Moza was one of the sons of Caleb, the son of Hezron, by his concubine Ephah (1 Chronicles 2:46). Caleb was one of the twelve spies sent by Moses to scout out Canaan (Numbers 13:6). Along with Joshua, he gave a good report and was permitted to enter the promised land (Numbers 14:30). No other details are given about Moza's life. He is not to be confused with the Benjamite Moza mentioned in the genealogies of Saul (1 Chronicles 8:36-37, 9:42-43).
