This then was the lot of the tribe
of the children
of Judah
by their families
; even to the border
of Edom
the wilderness
of Zin
southward
was the uttermost part
of the south coast
.
And their south border
was from the shore
of the salt
sea
, from the bay
that looketh
southward
:
And it went out to the south side
to Maalehacrabbim
, and passed
along to Zin
, and ascended up
on the south side
unto Kadeshbarnea
, and passed
along to Hezron
, and went up
to Adar
, and fetched a compass
to Karkaa
:
From thence it passed toward Azmon
, and went out
unto the river
of Egypt
; and the goings out
of that coast
were at the sea
: this shall be your south
coast
.
And the east border
was the salt
sea
, even unto 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 Bethhogla
, and passed
along by the north
of Betharabah
; 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
, that is before
the going up
to Adummim
, which is on the south side
of the river
: and the border
passed
toward the waters
of Enshemesh
, and the goings out
thereof were at Enrogel
:
And the border went up
by the valley
of the son
of Hinnom
unto the south
side
of the Jebusite
; the same is Jerusalem
: and the border
went up
to the top
of the mountain
that lieth before
the valley
of Hinnom
westward
, which is at the end
of the valley
of the giants
northward
:
And the border was drawn
from the top
of the hill
unto the fountain
of the water
of Nephtoah
, and went out
to the cities
of mount
Ephron
; and the border
was drawn
to Baalah
, which is Kirjathjearim
:
And the border compassed
from Baalah
westward
unto mount
Seir
, and passed
along unto the side
of mount
Jearim
, which is Chesalon
, on the north side
, and went down
to Bethshemesh
, and passed on
to Timnah
:
And the border went out
unto the side
of Ekron
northward
: and the border
was drawn
to Shicron
, and passed along
to mount
Baalah
, and went out
unto Jabneel
; and the goings out
of the border
were at the sea
.
And the west border
was to the great
sea
, and the coast
thereof . This is the coast
of the children
of Judah
round about
according to their families
.
And unto Caleb the son
of Jephunneh
he gave
a part
among
the children
of Judah
, according
to the commandment
of the LORD
to Joshua
, even the city
of Arba
the father
of Anak
, which city is Hebron
.
And Caleb drove
thence the three
sons
of Anak
, Sheshai
, and Ahiman
, and Talmai
, the children
of Anak
.
And he went up thence to the inhabitants
of Debir
: and the name
of Debir
before
was Kirjathsepher
.
And Caleb said
, He that smiteth
Kirjathsepher
, and taketh
it, to him will I give
Achsah
my daughter
to wife
.
And Othniel the son
of Kenaz
, the brother
of Caleb
, took
it: and he gave
him Achsah
his daughter
to wife
.
And it came to pass, as she came unto him , that she moved
him to ask
of her father
a field
: and she lighted off
her ass
; and Caleb
said
unto her, What wouldest thou?
Who answered, Give
me a blessing
; for thou hast given
me a south
land
; give
me also springs
of water
. And he gave
her the upper
springs
, and the nether
springs
.
This is the inheritance of the tribe
of the children
of Judah
according to their families
.
