Hobab:
beloved, the Kenite, has been usually identified with Jethro (q.v.), Exd 18:5, 27; comp. Num 10:29, 30. In Jdg 4:11, the word rendered "father-in-law" means properly any male relative by marriage (Gen 19:14, "son-in-law," A.V.), and should be rendered "brother-in-law," as in the R.V. His descendants followed Israel to Canaan (Num 10:29), and at first pitched their tents near Jericho, but afterwards settled in the south in the borders of Arad (Jdg 1:8-11,16).
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
