Daughter of Caleb, Prince of Judah & Warrior of Israel
Caleb means “dog” or “dog-like”. Read these key passages to learn more about Caleb: Numbers 13-14; Joshua 14 – 15; Judges 1
In 1 Samuel 30:14 Caleb is undoubtedly the name of a clan which is, moreover, differentiated from Judah. Modern scholars therefore assume that Caleb was originally an independent clan which in historical times merged with Judah. As Caleb is called the son f Kenaz (Judges 1:13) or the Kenizzite (Numbers 32:12), it is further believed that the Calebites were originally associated with an Edomite clan named Kenaz (Genesis 36:11), and that they entered their future homes in the southern part of Palestine from the south. Their migration up north would then be reflected in the story of the spies.
In the genealogical tables (1 Chronicles 2), Caleb is made a descendant of Judah through his father Hezron. He is the brother of Jerahmeel, and the “father” of Hebron and of other towns in Judah. (Chelubai, 1 Chronicles 9:9, is apparently identical with Caleb.)
