tn Heb “they gave to Caleb.”

tn Heb “to know if they would hear the commands of the Lord which he commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.”

tn Or “separated.”

tn Heb “pitched his tent.”

tc Part of the Greek ms tradition lacks the words “of Judah.”

tn Heb “[to] the Desert of Judah in the Negev, Arad.”

tn The phrase “of Judah” is supplied here in the translation. Some ancient textual witnesses read, “They went and lived with the Amalekites.” This reading, however, is probably influenced by 1 Sam 15:6 (see also Num 24:20-21).
