Jephuneh
Jephuneh is identified as the father of Caleb. Caleb the son of Jephuneh explored the land with Joshua the son of Nun and declared it exceedingly good. He was excepted from the judgment that none of the wicked generation from twenty years old and upward would see the land, and he alone with Joshua survived while the others died in the wilderness. Joshua later gave Mount Hebron to Caleb the son of Jephuneh as a special portion.
