sentences:  The Hebrew Bible refers to Othniel as "Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb".The expression is inconclusive in Hebrew, and has been taken to mean either that Othniel himself was the brother of Caleb, or that Othniel's father Kenaz was the brother of Caleb.The Talmud argues that Othniel was Caleb's brother.
