Making Sense of the Text
Commentators explain a crucial structural break in this verse. The phrase 'These were the sons of Caleb' likely concludes the previous list (vv. 42-49). The rest of the verse begins a new list detailing the descendants of Hur (who, as per v. 19, was Caleb's son). This understanding resolves a potential contradiction and clarifies the flow of the genealogy.
