2:9 The sons born to Hezron:
Jerahmeel, Ram, and Caleb. 1
2:18 Caleb son of Hezron fathered sons by his wife Azubah (also known as Jerioth). 2 Her sons were Jesher, Shobab, and Ardon. 2:19 When Azubah died, Caleb married 3 Ephrath, who bore him Hur.
2:1 These were the sons of Israel: 4
Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah;
Issachar and Zebulun;
1 tn The Hebrew text has “Celubai,” but see v. 18, where Caleb is described as the son of Hezron.
2 tn Heb “and Caleb son of Hezron fathered [children] with Azubah, a wife, and with Jerioth.” Jerioth could be viewed as a second wife (so NLT; cf. also NASB, NIV, NRSV), but the following context mentions only “her [presumably Azubah’s] sons.” Another option, the one chosen in the translation, is that Jerioth is another name for Azubah.
3 tn Heb “took for himself.”
4 tn The groupings in the list that follows, as well as the conjunctions (vav-consecutives in Hebrew), reflect those of the Hebrew text.
