Exegesis
The verse is a compact narrative line driven by two coordinated wayyiqtol verbs: wayyebarkhehu {וַֽיְבָרְכֵ֖הוּ | wāy-yə-ḇā-rə-ḵê-hû} ‘and he blessed him’ followed by wayyitten {וַיִּתֵּ֧ן | wāy-yit-tēn} ‘and he gave’. This verb chain presents sequential actions, with blessing functioning as the formal endorsement that precedes the concrete land grant.
In context — Joshua 14:13
Joshua blessed him and granted Hebron to Caleb son of Jephunneh as an inheritance .
