Joshua

[This] then was the lot of the tribe of the sons of Judah by their families: to the border of Edom, the wilderness of Zin southward, in the extreme south.

And their south border was from the end of the Salt Sea, from the bay that looks southward.

And it went out southward to the ascent of Akrabbim, and passed on to Zin, and went up on the south of Kadesh-barnea, and went on to Hezron, and went up toward Adar, and turned toward Karkaa,

and passed on to Azmon, and went out by the torrent of Egypt. And the boundary line was at the Sea. This shall be your south border.

And the east border, the Salt Sea to the end of Jordan, and [their] border in the north quarter [was] from the bay of the sea at the uttermost part of Jordan.

And the border went up to Beth-hoglah, and passed along by the north of Beth-arabah. And the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben;

And the border went up toward Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, before the going up to Adummim, which [is] on the south side of the river. And the border passed toward the waters of En-shemesh, and its boundary was at En-rogel.

And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom to the south side of the Jebusite. It [is] Jerusalem. And the border went up to the top of the mountain that lies before the valley of Hinnom westward, at the end of the Valley of the Giants northward.

And the border was drawn from the top of the hill to the fountain of the water of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of mount Ephron. And the border was drawn to Baalah; it [is] Kirjath-jearim.

And the border went around from Baalah westward to Mount Seir, and passed along to the side of mount Jearim; it is Chesalon, on the north side, and went down to Bethshemesh, and passed on to Timnah.

And the border went to the side of Ekron northward, and the border was drawn [to] Shikkeron and passed along to Mount Baalah, and went out to Jabneel. And the boundary line was at the Sea.

And the west border [was] to the Great Sea, and the coast. This is the border of the sons of Judah all around according to their families.

And he gave a part among the sons of Judah to Caleb the son of Jephunneh, according to the command of the LORD to Joshua, even the city of Arba the father of Anak; it [is] Hebron.

And Caleb drove out from there the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the sons of Anak.

And he went up from there to those who lived in Debir. And the name of Debir before [was] Kirjath-sepher.

And Caleb said, He who smites Kirjath-sepher, and takes it, I will give my daughter Achsah to him for a wife.

And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it. And he gave him Achsah his daughter for a wife.

And it happened as she came, she moved him to ask a field from her father. And she dismounted from the ass. And Caleb said to her, What do you [desire]?

She answered, Give me a blessing, for you have given me a south land. Give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.

This [is] the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Judah according to their families.
