1 Chronicles 2:18-19

2:18

Caleb <03612> [A.M. 2534, etc. B.C. 1470, etc. Caleb.]

Caleb, [Kƒlˆb, <\\See definition 03612\\>,] is the same as Chelubai, [Kel–wbay <\\See definition 03621\\>,]; the latter simply having a [Vƒv,] {wav} inserted, and a [Y“de,] {yood} affixed. This person must have lived some time before Israel left Egypt; for Bezaleel, the principal person employed in constructing the tabernacle, was his grandson.

[Chelubai.]

Ephrath <0672> [Ephrath.]

[Ephratah.]

1 Chronicles 2:42

2:42

Caleb <03612> [Caleb.]

This was not Caleb the son of Jephunneh, but Caleb the son of Hezron, and therefore called the brother of Jerahmeel: See the parallel texts:

[Chelubai.]

firstborn <01060> [his first-born.]

father .......... father <01> [the father. i.e, the founder.]

Or, as the Targum renders, "the prince of the Ziphites;" for it was usual to call both the founder and the prince of a city its father.

Ziph <02128> [Ziph.]

father .......... father ... Hebron <01 02275> [the father of Hebron.]

1 Chronicles 2:50

2:50

Caleb <03612> [Caleb.]

This Caleb was the grandson of the preceding, and brother to Uri, the father of Bezaleel.
