783:. I see no reason to accept your massive interventions for which you didn't offer any explanation, not here and not even as an edit summary. Unsourced material might well be correct and valuable (useful to the reader), as seems to be the case here. I can easily imagine that it's for instance based on the Hebrew (heWiki) article, translated but without the sources, or in the case of the lead, re-edited many times, with some sources lost in the process, but in no way wrong or invalid. Please see this work here as an imperfect, but useful team effort, where eliminating large amounts of info with no explanation is not acceptable. Btw, if your problem is with unsourced material: your edit in the lead was totally unsourced as well. So you see... 499:"Jew" and "Jewish" is not a significant category in the Tanach at least until about the time of Ezra, Nehemiah, Esther. It is about a Bible character. Since Judaism as we know it today is not the religion of the Tanach, but of the Talmud (so far as it is "orthodox") and of Jewish culture developed over thousands of years, IMHO this treatise on Caleb does not come under "judasim." Now if Caleb does have some significant role in the Talmud and in Jewish culture, that should be elucidated -- or conversely, if Caleb has been neglected in Jewish culture, that also might be mentioned. ( 691:قَالَ رَجُلَانِ مِنَ الَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمَا ادْخُلُوا عَلَيْهِمُ الْبَابَ فَإِذَا دَخَلْتُمُوهُ فَإِنَّكُمْ غَالِبُونَ ۚ وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَتَوَكَّلُوا إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ 5 : 23 (Thereupon) two men (- Joshua and Caleb) from among those who feared (their Lord) and on whom Allâh had bestowed His blessings said, ‘Enter the gate (of the city advancing) against them, for when once you have entered it you shall surely be victorious, and in Allâh you should put your trust when you are believers (in Him).’ 189: 281: 263: 74: 53: 372: 351: 84: 22: 744: 179: 158: 291: 498:
Disagree. The article is rather short as it is. But it might be renamed: Caleb in the Bible. This is not "Judaic lore," as it is not about a Caleb in the Talmud nor in any distinctive Jewish work (in the modern sense of "Jewish"). Those familiar with the Old Testament / Tanach will be aware that

Article says: "Perhaps the name Kenizzite in his case derives from some ancestral Judean family head named Kenaz, even as Caleb’s brother was so named (Joshua 15:17; Judges 1:13; 1 Chronicles 4:13)." Could the writer clarify what he means? Are you saying that Othniel was named for some ancestral
563:
That's what the article says right now. It could be deceptive to anyone who doesn't read Hebrew. What it looks like those two sentences are saying is that the Jewish Encyclopedia identifies "Caleb" as meaning "dog," but that the NAS Concordance does not know the meaning of Caleb.
522:
At one point this verse is used to identify Caleb' wife (actually, the next verses identify a second wife), but later in the text this Caleb is assumed, by virtue of being the son of Hezron, not to be the Caleb from the book of Joshua. Some consistency, please.
559:<<According to the Jewish Encyclopedia, "since 'Caleb' signifies dog, it has been thought that the dog was the totem of clan". The New American Standard Exhaustive Concordance states that keleb is of "uncertain derivation".: --> 637:

IMO, this should be divided into at least two or maybe three articles: one for the name itself, a second for the biblical Calebs, with the Caleb of the Quran either appended to the latter or in a third article. Opinions?
623:
Unacceptable as part of the article as it is now. Moved the material over here for possible reuse if a sourced comment can be found that convincingly supports a connection of the verses to Caleb in Islamic thought.

it says the derivation is uncertain. So the NAS does have a position on the origin of the name Caleb, it just doesn't have a position on where the word
