Numbers 13:6

Numbers 13:6

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

Caleb the son of Jephunneh. In he is called "the Kenezite" ( הַקְּנִזּי), which appears in as the name of one of the ancient races inhabiting the promised land. It is possible that Jephunneh may have been connected by descent or otherwise with this race; it is more likely that the similarity of name was accidental.

The younger son of Jephunneh, the father of Othniel, was a Kenaz ( קְנַז), and so was Caleb's grandson (see on ; 1 Chronicles 4:13, 1 Chronicles 4:15). Kenaz was also an Edomitish name.
