Who Was Caleb ben Yefuneh's Wife?
Question
It is written in the Gemara that Caleb married Batyah bat Pharaoh, and another Gemara says that he married Miriam (whoever marries a woman for the sake of Heaven, etc.)?
Thank you very much
Answer
Shalom uvrakhah,
Indeed, Caleb ben Yefuneh was married to Batyah bat Pharaoh (see Tractate Megillah 13a) and also to Miriam the prophetess (see Tractate Sotah 11b). In those days, it was permitted to marry more than one woman.
With blessings,
Hillel Meirs
