Verse 18 is found in chapter 15 of Joshua. Caleb appears again in connection with Hebron and the descendants of Anak. The conquest of Hebron is presented as the result of Caleb’s action and the expulsion of the three clans associated with the Anakites. Later Othniel captures Debir and receives Achsah as his wife. Achsah’s request for water sources shows that possessing an inheritance also requires concrete resources to make it habitable and productive.

Und es begab sich, da sie einzog, beredete sie ihn, einen Acker zu fordern von ihrem Vater. Und sie stieg vom Esel; da sprach Kaleb zu ihr: Was ist dir?
Y aconteció que cuando la llevaba, él la persuadió que pidiese a su padre tierras para labrar. Ella entonces se apeó del asno. Y Caleb le dijo: ¿Qué tienes?
Cuando ella llegó, lo instó a pedir un campo al padre de ella. Se bajó del burro, y Caleb le dijo: «¿Qué deseas?».
Lorsqu'elle fut entrée chez Othniel, elle le sollicita de demander à son père un champ. Elle descendit de dessus son âne, et Caleb lui dit: Qu'as-tu?
E quando ella venne a marito, indusse Otniel a domandare un campo a suo padre; poi ella si gittò giù d’in su l’asino; e Caleb le disse: Che hai?
E sucedeu que, vindo ela a ele, o persuadiu que pedisse um campo a seu pai; e ela desceu do seu jumento; então Calebe lhe disse: Que é que tens?
