Jephunneh
1. Caleb’s father. (See CALEB.) Of the Kenezites (Num 32:12), seemingly an Edomite tribe, Kenaz being a “duke of Edom” (Gen 36:11; Gen 36:15; Gen 36:20; Gen 36:23). Edomite names occur in Caleb’s genealogy, as Shobal (1Ch 2:50; 1Ch 2:52). If the similarity of some names among Israel and Edom be not due to their being kindred peoples, it shows that Caleb’s family was an Edomite one incorporated into Judah.
2. 1Ch 7:38.
