Jerioth

Jerioth

Jerioth

(Heb. Yerioth’, , timidity, otherwise curtains; ), a person apparently named as the latter of the first two wives of Caleb, son of Hezron, several children being mentioned as the fruit of the marriage with one or the other (1Ch 2:18). B.C. post 1856. The Vulgate renders this as the son of Caleb by the first-mentioned wife, and father of the sons named but contrary to the Heb. text, which is closely followed by the Sept. There is probably some corruption; possibly the name in question is an interpolation: compare 1Ch 2:19; or perhaps we should render the connective by even, thus making Jerioth but another name for Azubah.

Jerioth

1Ch 2:18. One of Caleb’s wives. Keil, with the oldest Syriac (Peshito) and Vulgate manuscripts, reads instead of the text, which is corrupt, “he begat, with Azubah his wife, Jerioth (a daughter); and these are her sons.”

Jerioth

jeri-oth, jeri-oth (, yeroth, (tent-) curtains): In 1Ch 2:18, where Massoretic Text is corrupt, Kittel in his commentary and in Biblical Hebrew reads Caleb begat (children) of Azubah his wife, Jerioth. Wellhausen (De Gent. et Fam. Jud., 33) reads, Caleb begat (children) of Azubah his wife, the daughter of Jerioth. According to English Versions of the Bible, Caleb had two wives, but the context does not bear this out. J. H. Michaelis regarded Jerioth as another name for Azubah. See Curtis, Commentary on Chronicles, 92.
