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 | 225912 | ||
Greetings again Searcher, I've been trying to find out more about Caleb in Chronicles, thinking about what you said about Caleb's mother, and here's what I found out: * Caleb's father was Jephunneh, a Kenizzite (Josh. 14:14) * Jephunneh was a son of Jether (1 Chr. 7:38) * Jether was a son of Ezrah (1 Chr. 4:17) 1 Chr. 4:17 "The sons of Ezrah were Jether, Mered, Epher and Jalon. (And these are the sons of Bithia the daughter of Pharaoh, whom Mered took) and she conceived and bore Miriam, Shammai and Ishbah the father of Eshtemoa." So, if the 'Ezrah' in 1 Chr. 4:17 is really Caleb's great-grandfather, then I find it rather confusing that only 2 verses above (1 Chr. 4:15), it says "The sons of Caleb the son of Jephunneh were Iru, Elah and Naam; and the son of Elah was Kenaz." So, if the sons of Caleb are listed two verses before the geneaology of Caleb's great-grandfather, then I doubt that this 'Ezrah' in 1 Chr. 4:17 is related in any way to Caleb. I find this thread rather interesting because, if the Ezrah in 1 Chr. 4:17 is really related to Caleb, then it would further substantiate your point on Exodus 12:38. Sometimes looking at all of the names in Chronicles (and trying to make sense of them) gives me a headache and I have to take a break.. :) Blessings to you, Makarios |

Makarios, my friend ... "Sometimes looking at all of the names in Chronicles (and trying to make sense of them) gives me a headache" ... when I look, I only can take one list, or part of it. The same is true for the Table of Nations and names in Genesis. Searcher |
