Both editions write the same name in these places (the Korean Revised Version 갈렙, WEB Caleb). This collection records Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Caleb the son of Hezron as two entries, and records the Caleb of Joshua 15:16–17 as Achsah’s father. The text does not say whether the Caleb of 1 Chronicles 2 and Caleb the son of Jephunneh of 4:15 are one man, and this collection does not decide it.
