In accordance with the LORD’s command to him, Joshua gave to Caleb son of Jephunneh a portion in Judah—Kiriath Arba, that is, Hebron. (Arba was the forefather of Anak.)
And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a part among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua, even the city of Arba the father of Anak, which city is Hebron.
According to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua, he gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh a portion among the people of Judah, Kiriath-arba, that is, Hebron (Arba was the father of Anak).
The LORD commanded Joshua to assign some of Judah’s territory to Caleb son of Jephunneh. So Caleb was given the town of Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), which had been named after Anak’s ancestor.
And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a part among
the children of Judah
That is, Joshua gave it to him. This account is inserted before
the cities in the lot of the tribe of Judah were enumerated, to
show what was to be excepted from them, and which had been given
to Caleb previous to the lot:
according to the commandment of the Lord to
Joshua;
for as he had declared this to Moses, ( Deuteronomy
1:36 ) ; so it seems he also gave the same order to Joshua,
who, it is not improbable, might consult the Lord about it when
Caleb made his request, ( Joshua 14:12
) ;
[even] the city of Arba the father of Anak, which [city is]
Hebron;
(See Gill on Joshua
14:15).
