Numbers 32:12

Verse 12

12. Caleb Joshua 14:6-12, notes.

Kenezite A descendant of Kenaz, who was probably an Edomite. Genesis 36:11; Genesis 36:15. It is quite possible that Caleb was a foreigner by birth; a proselyte, incorporated into the tribe of Judah, into which perhaps he or his ancestors had married. Comp. Genesis 36:20-23, and 1Ch 2:50 ; 1 Chronicles 2:52. The incorporation of whole foreign families supplies us with an easy and natural solution of the difficulty with regard to the great numbers of Israelites at the Exodus. Chap. i, Concluding Note, (2.)
