These are their names
This phrase introduces a list of individuals who are significant in the context of Israel's history. In the Hebrew tradition, names are not merely labels but carry deep significance, often reflecting character, destiny, or divine purpose. The listing of names here underscores the importance of each individual in the fulfillment of God's promises to Israel. It is a reminder that God knows each person by name and has a specific role for them in His divine plan.

Caleb
The name Caleb is derived from the Hebrew word "כָּלֵב" (Kaleb), which can mean "dog" or "faithful, devoted." Caleb is a prominent figure in the Old Testament, known for his unwavering faith and courage. He was one of the two spies, along with Joshua, who trusted in God's promise to give the land of Canaan to the Israelites, despite the daunting obstacles. Caleb's faithfulness is a powerful example of trust in God's promises, even when circumstances seem insurmountable.

son of Jephunneh
This phrase identifies Caleb's lineage, which is significant in the Hebrew culture where family heritage and tribal affiliation are crucial. Jephunneh, Caleb's father, is mentioned to establish Caleb's identity and legitimacy. The mention of one's father in biblical texts often serves to honor the family line and to connect the individual to the broader narrative of God's people.

from the tribe of Judah
The tribe of Judah holds a place of prominence among the tribes of Israel. Judah, one of the twelve sons of Jacob, is the tribe from which King David and ultimately Jesus Christ, the Messiah, would come. This tribal affiliation highlights Caleb's significant role in the unfolding account of redemption. Judah is often associated with leadership and kingship, and Caleb's inclusion here foreshadows the tribe's future importance in Israel's history.
