===Caleb as a Kenizzite=== Caleb the spy is the son of Jephunneh. Jephunneh is called a [[Kenizzite]] ({{bibleverse|Numbers|32:12|9}}, {{bibleverse|Joshua|14:6|9}},{{bibleverse|Joshua|14:14|9|14}}). The Kenizzites are listed as one of the nations associated with the land of Canaan at the time that God made a covenant with Abraham ({{bibleverse|Genesis|15:19|}}). However, Caleb is mentioned alongside the descendants of Judah recorded in {{bibleverse|1 Chronicles|4|9}}: "And the sons of Caleb the son of Jephunneh: Iru, Elah, and Naam; and the sons of Elah: Kenaz" ({{bibleverse|1 Chronicles|4:15|9}}).<ref name=jps /> {{bibleverse|Numbers|13:6|9}}, likewise, lists Caleb as a tribal leader in Judah. Contrarily, the Kenizzites are also generally associated with Kenaz, the son of [[Esau]], making them an [[Edom|Edomite clan]] (see {{bibleverse|Genesis|36:40-43|9}}).<ref name=Freedman>Freedman & Myers (2000), p.
