14 And it came to pass, as he went, she moved him, to ask of her father a field and she lighted of her Ass, and Caleb said unto her: What wilt thou? 15 And she answered him, give me a blessing, for thou hast given me a dry land, give me also springs of water. And Caleb gave her springs both above and beneath.

In the xv. chap. of Joshua, where all these things of Achsah and Othoniel are rehearsed in manner, by so many words,1 only three differences are perceived in the word. One is, that which is here Techitioth and Alioth, is there Techitith & Alith. Moreover there it is said Tinna & here is Hicah. Lastly there is Scadah & here is Haschadah. R.D. Kimhi hath noted these things. For the interpreters of the Hebrews are most precise, yea in observing the very pricks, I would they were as quick in sight & diligent in rendering reasons of annotations. Hachsah persuaded & provoked her husband, to ask the field of Caleb her father, which I therefore tell you, because the Latin translation is corrupted. For it hath that the husband persuaded the wife to ask the field of Caleb. 2Furthermore by this we may consider the sharpness of the wit of a woman. She therefore moveth her husband, to ask the field, because she was persuaded with her self, that her father would not deny him that which he should ask. (She thought moreover that if her husband obtained the field, she should easily by her self afterward obtain the waters, whereas if she should have asked them both at one time (namely the field and the waters) it might peradventure be hard to obtain both together. But if the field were first given to her husband, her father might be counted very hard, if he should deny his daughter the waters, she requiring them of him. And in asking she wisely watched a fit time, namely when she should be brought to her husband: for then parents are wont to show them selves more gentle towards their children, when they see that they shall be by & by taken from them. Wherefore though they were at other times hard, then yet they somewhat relent. In this reason of the petition I have followed Levi the son of Gerson,
