Exegesis
The causal preposition ekev {עֵקֶב | ʿê-qeḇ} ‘because’ introduces the reason clause, underscoring ruach acheret {רוּחַ אַחֶרֶת | rū-ạ-ḥ ʾă-ḥe-ret} ‘another spirit,’ where the feminine noun–adjective pairing highlights an internal disposition.
In context — Numbers 14:24
But my servant Caleb, because there was another spirit with him and he fully followed Me, I will bring him into the land that he came to, and his descendants will inherit it.
