The Book of Joshua

And the lot for the tribe of the sons of Judah for their families was 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 looked 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 passed to Hezron, and went up toward Adar, and turned toward Karkaa,

And the east border was the Salt Sea to the end of the Jordan; and the border on the north side [was] from the bay of the sea at the end of the Jordan.

And the border went up to Beth-hoglah, and passed on 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 northward looking toward Gilgal, which [is] opposite to the ascent of Adummim, which [is] the south side of the torrent; and the border passed to the waters of En-shemesh, and its boundary line was at Enrogel.

And the border went up to the valley of the son of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite on the south (it [is] Jerusalem) and the border went up to the top of the mountain which [is] before the valley of Hinnom westward at the far end of the Valley of the Giants northward.

And the border was drawn from the top of the mount to the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah; and [it] went up to the cities of Mount Ephron; and the border was drawn to Baalah (it [is] Kirjath-jearim).

And the border turned around from Baalah westward to Mount Seir, and passed toward the side of Mount Jearim on the north (it [is] Chesalon) and went down to Beth-shemesh, and passed along by Timnah;

and the border went out 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 [its] coast. This is the border of the sons of Judah all around, for their families.

And he gave a portion to Caleb the son of Jephunneh among the sons of Judah, according to the command of Jehovah to Joshua: the City of Arba, the father of Anak; it [is] Hebron.

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

And he went up there to the inhabitants of Debir; and the name of Debir formerly was the City of Sepher.

And Caleb said, He who strikes the City of Sepher, and captures it, I shall give my daughter Achsah to him for a wife.

And Othniel, the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, captured it. And He gave his daughter Achsah to him for a wife.

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

And she said, Give a blessing to me. You have given me the land of the south, then you shall give to me springs of water. And he gave to her the upper springs and the lower springs.
