Joshua 15:15-17

Context
15:15 From there he attacked the people of Debir. 1  (Debir used to be called Kiriath Sepher.) 15:16 Caleb said, “To the man who attacks and captures Kiriath Sepher I will give my daughter Acsah as a wife.” 15:17 When Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb’s brother, 2  captured it, Caleb 3  gave Acsah his daughter to him as a wife.

1 tn Heb “he went up against the inhabitants of Debir.”

2 tn “Caleb’s brother” may refer either to Othniel or to Kenaz. If Kenaz was the brother of Caleb, Othniel is Caleb’s nephew.

3 tn Heb “he”; the referent (Caleb) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
