Subject: Caleb from the tribe of Judah? |
Bible Note: 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 |
