Joshua 15:17

15:17 When Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb’s brother, ¹  captured it, Caleb ²  gave Acsah his daughter to him as a wife.

Joshua 2:13

2:13 that you will spare the lives of my father, mother, brothers, sisters, and all who belong to them, and rescue us ³  from death.”

Joshua 17:4

17:4 They went before Eleazar the priest, Joshua son of Nun, and the leaders and said, “The Lord told Moses to assign us land among our relatives.” ⁴  So Joshua ⁵  assigned them land among their uncles, as the Lord had commanded. ⁶ 

[15:17]  ¹ tn “Caleb’s brother” may refer either to Othniel or to Kenaz. If Kenaz was the brother of Caleb, Othniel is Caleb’s nephew.

[15:17]  ² tn Heb “he”; the referent (Caleb) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[2:13]  ³ tn Or “our lives.”

[17:4]  ⁵ tn Heb “The Lord commanded Moses to assign to us an inheritance in the midst of our brothers.” Since Zelophehad had no sons, “brothers” must refer to their uncles, as the next sentence makes clear.

[17:4]  ⁶ tn Heb “he.” The referent is probably Joshua, although Eleazar is mentioned first in the preceding list.

[17:4]  ⁷ tn Heb “and he assigned to them in accordance with the mouth [i.e., command] of the Lord an inheritance in the midst of the brothers of their father.”
