Kenizzite Heritage:
“It is common to associate the Kenizzites with a descendant of Esau, Kenaz, associated with the Edomites (Gen 36:1-11, 40-43) This identifier suggests an ancestry for Caleb that makes him a non-Israelite, yet one whose family is incorporated into Israel and whose exemplary and forceful fidelity marks him out as unparalleled in his generation.”
