1 Chronicles 2:18-19
A.M. 2534, etc. B.C. 1470, etc. Caleb.Caleb, [Kâlêb, ,] is the same as Chelubai, [Kelûwbay ,]; the latter simply having a [Vâv,] {wav} inserted, and a [Yôde,] {yood} affixed. This person must have lived some time before Israel left Egypt; for Bezaleel, the principal person employed in constructing the tabernacle, was his grandson. 9Chelubai.42 Ephrath.24,504:4; Mic 5:2Ephratah.1 Chronicles 2:24
