1 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.
2 And their
south border was from the
shore of the
salt sea, from the
bay that
looketh southward:
3 And it went
out to the south
side to
Maalehacrabbim Ma#aleh, and
passed along to
Zin, and ascended
up on the south
side unto
Kadeshbarnea Qadesh, and
passed along to
Hezron, and went
up to
Adar, and fetched a
compass to
Karkaa:
4 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.
5 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:
6 And the
border went
up to
Bethhogla Beyth, and
passed along by the
north of
Betharabah Beyth ha-#Arabah#; and the
border went
up to the
stone of
Bohan the
son of
Reuben:
7 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 #Eyn, and the goings
out thereof were at
Enrogel #Eyn:
8 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:
9 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 Qiryath:
10 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 Beyth, and passed
on to
Timnah:
11 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.
12 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.
13 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 #
A Qiryaththe
father of
Anak, which city is
Hebron.
14 And
Caleb drove thence the
three sons of
Anak,
Sheshai, and
Ahiman, and
Talmai, the
children of
Anak.
15 And he went
up thence to the
inhabitants of
Debir: and the
name of
Debir before was
Kirjathsepher Qiryath.
16 And
Caleb said, He that
smiteth Kirjathsepher Qiryath, and
taketh it, to him will I
give Achsah my
daughter to
wife.
17 And
Othniel the
son of
Kenaz, the
brother of
Caleb,
took it: and he
gave him
Achsah his
daughter to
wife.
18 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?
19 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.
20 This is the
inheritance of the
tribe of the
children of
Judah according to their
families.
