1697–1771

Exposition of the Old Testament (1748-1763)

And they gave Hebron unto Caleb, as Moses said,.... Which was done in the times of Joshua, both by him and all the people, according to the order of Moses. This is to be understood not of the city which was given to the Levites, but of the fields and parts adjacent, Jos 14:13, and he expelled thence the three sons of Anak: whose names are given Jdg 1:10; this shows that this refers to the same expedition as in Jos 15:14; and is expressed in the same manner.
