SEV Biblia, Chapter 32:12
excepto Caleb, hijo de Jefone cenezeo, y Josué hijo de Nun, que fueron perfectos en pos del SEÑOR.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Numbers 32:12
Verse 12. Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite] It was Jephunneh that was the Kenezite, and not Caleb. Kenaz was probably the father of Jephunneh.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 12. Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite, and Joshua the son of Nun , etc.] (see Numbers 14:30), whether Caleb or Jephunneh is called the Kenezite is not so easy to determine; the latter rather seems to be most correct, for that Caleb should be called so from Kenaz the father of Othniel, who is said to be Caleb’s brother seems not to be agreeable; since it is not likely that they were his own brothers, or Caleb would not have given his daughter to him; besides Jephunneh and not Kenaz is always said to be the father of Caleb, unless his father can be thought to have two names; it is most likely that Jephunneh, and so Caleb, might be called the Kenezite, from an ancestor of theirs of that name: Jarchi says, Caleb was the son-in-law of Kenaz, and Caleb’s mother bore unto him Othniel: for they have wholly followed the Lord ; here what was said of Caleb, ( Numbers 14:24) is said both of him and Joshua; (see Gill on “ Numbers 14:24”).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 6-15 - The proposal showed disregard to the land of Canaan, distrust of the Lord's promise, and unwillingness to encounter the difficulties an dangers of conquering and driving out the inhabitants of that land Moses is wroth with them. It will becomes any of God's Israel to sin down unconcerned about the difficult and perilous concerns of their brethren, whether public or personal. He reminds them of the fata consequences of the unbelief and faint-heartedness of their fathers when they were, as themselves, just ready to enter Canaan. If me considered as they ought what would be the end of sin, they would be afraid of the beginning of it.
