1 | Caleb from the tribe of Judah? | Num 13:6 | Searcher56 | 225901 | ||
God's day to you, my brother, Exodus 12:38 says "A mixed multitude also went up with them" ... which means that not everyone who left Egypt came from the loins of Jacob/Israel. I think Caleb's mother was from his loins and Judah's, so Caleb was from the tribe of Judah. It is interesting the Kenizzite's were one of the ites God promised Abraham, Abram at the time (Gen 15:18-21). S |

2 | Caleb from the tribe of Judah? | Num 13:6 | Makarios | 225909 | ||
Greetings Searcher! Thank you for your reply. You wrote, "I think Caleb's mother was from his loins and Judah's, so Caleb was from the tribe of Judah." Do you have any Scriptural proof of this? As for Exodus 12:38, I have usually interpreted this verse to mean that many Egyptians went along with the Israelites as they left Egypt. But this verse cannot explain how Caleb, a Kenizzite, could attain to a place of leadership and actually be the representative of the tribe of Judah in Numbers 13:6. But I appreciate your help anyway! Your Brother in Christ, Makarios |
