Now athe lot for the tribe
of the sons
of Judah
according to their families
1reached
the bborder
of Edom
, southward
to the cwilderness
of Zin
at the extreme
south
.
Their south border
was from the lower end
of the Salt
Sea
, from the bay
that turns
to the south
.
Then it proceeded southward
to the ascent
of Akrabbim
and continued
to Zin
, then went
up by the south
of Kadesh-barnea
and continued
to Hezron
, and went
up to Addar
and turned
about
to Karka
.
It acontinued to Azmon
and proceeded
to the 1 bbrook
of Egypt
, and the 2border
ended
at the sea
. This
shall be your south
border
.
The aeast border
was the Salt
Sea
, as far
as the 1mouth
of the Jordan
. And the bborder
of the north
side
was from the bay
of the sea
at the 1mouth
of the Jordan
.
Then the border went
up to Beth-hoglah
, and continued
on the north
of Beth-arabah
, and the border
went
up to the stone
of Bohan
the son
of Reuben
.
The border went
up to Debir
from athe valley
of Achor
, and turned
northward
toward
Gilgal
which
is opposite
the ascent
of Adummim
, which
is on the south
of the valley
; and the border
continued
to the waters
of En-shemesh
and 1it ended
at En-rogel
.
Then the border went
up the valley
of Ben-hinnom
to the slope
of the aJebusite
on the south
(that is, Jerusalem
); and the border
went
up to the top
of the mountain
which
is before
the valley
of Hinnom
to the west
, which
is at the end
of the valley
of Rephaim
toward the north
.
From the top of the mountain
the border
curved
to the spring
of the waters
of Nephtoah
and proceeded
to the cities
of Mount
Ephron
, then the border
curved
to aBaalah
(that is, bKiriath-jearim
).
The border turned
about
from Baalah
westward
to Mount
Seir
, and continued
to the slope
of Mount
Jearim
on the north
(that is, Chesalon
), and went
down
to Beth-shemesh
and continued
through
aTimnah
.
The border proceeded
to the side
of Ekron
northward
. Then the border
curved
to Shikkeron
and continued
to Mount
Baalah
and proceeded
to Jabneel
, and the 1border
ended
at the sea
.
The west border
was aat the Great
Sea
, even its 1coastline
. This
is the border
around
the sons
of Judah
according to their families
.
Now ahe gave to Caleb
the son
of Jephunneh
a portion
bamong
the sons
of Judah
, according
to the 1command
of the LORD
to Joshua
, namely, 2Kiriath-arba
, Arba being the father
of Anak
(that is, Hebron
).
aCaleb 1drove
out from there
the three
bsons
of Anak
: Sheshai
and Ahiman
and Talmai
, the children
of Anak
.
Then ahe went up from there
against
the inhabitants
of Debir
; now the name
of Debir
formerly
was Kiriath-sepher
.
And Caleb said
, "The one who
1attacks
Kiriath-sepher
and captures
it, 2I will give
him Achsah
my daughter
as a wife
."
aOthniel the son
of Kenaz
, the brother
of Caleb
, captured
it; so he gave
him Achsah
his daughter
as a wife
.
aIt came about that when she came
to him, she persuaded
him to ask
her father
for a field
. So she alighted
from the donkey
, and Caleb
said
to her, "What
do you want?"
Then she said, "Give
me a blessing
; since
you have given
me the land
of the 1Negev
, give
me also springs
of water
." So he gave
her the upper
springs
and the lower
springs
.

of Judah
