However, the Greek Septuagint transliterates the name as Ιεφοννη (Iephonne) in passages where Jephunneh is mentioned. Usage: Jephunneh is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, specifically as a personal name. It is most notably associated with Jephunneh the Kenizzite, the father of Caleb, one of the twelve spies sent by Moses to explore the land of Canaan. Context: Jephunneh is a significant biblical figure known primarily as the father of Caleb, one of the two faithful spies (along with Joshua) who encouraged the Israelites to trust in God's promise and enter the Promised Land. Jephunneh is identified as a Kenizzite, suggesting a possible non-Israelite origin, as the Kenizzites were a clan associated with Edom. Despite this, his son Caleb is fully integrated into the tribe of Judah, indicating a close association or assimilation with the Israelites. Jephunneh's legacy is primarily carried through Caleb, who is celebrated for his faithfulness and courage. The name Jephunneh appears in several passages, including Numbers 13:6, where Caleb is introduced as "Caleb son of Jephunneh," and in Joshua 14:6, where Caleb recounts his inheritance of Hebron due to his unwavering faith in God.
