1 The lot for the tribe of the children of
Judah according to their families was to
the border of Edom, even to the wilderness
of Zin southward, at the uttermost part of
the south.

2 Their south border was from the uttermost part of the Salt Sea, from the bay that
looks southward;

3 and it went out southward ofthe ascent
of Akrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and
went up by the south of Kadesh Barnea,
and passed along by Hezron, went up to
Addar, and turned toward Karka;

4 and it passed along to Azmon, went
out at the brook of Egypt; and the border
ended at the sea. This shall be your south
border.

5 The east border was the Salt Sea, even
to the end of the Jordan. The border of the
north quarter was from the bay of the sea
at the end of the Jordan.

6 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.

7 The border went up to Debir from the
valley of Achor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that faces the ascent of
Adummim, which is on the south side of
the river. The border passed along to the
waters of En Shemesh, and ended at En
Rogel.

8 The border went up by the valley of the
son of Hinnom to the side of the Jebusite
(also called Jerusalem) southward; and the
border went up to the top of the mountain
that lies before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the farthest part of the
valley of Rephaim northward.

9 The border extended from the top of
the mountain to the spring of the waters
of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of
MountEphron; andtheborder extendedto
Baalah (also called Kiriath Jearim);

10 and the border turned about from
Baalah westward to Mount Seir, and
passed along to the side of Mount Jearim
(also called Chesalon) on the north, and
went down to Beth Shemesh, and passed
along by Timnah;

11 and the border went out to the side
of Ekron northward; and the border extended to Shikkeron, and passed along to
Mount Baalah, and went out at Jabneel;
and the goings out of the border were at
the sea.

12 The westborder was to the shore ofthe
great sea. This is the border ofthe children
of Judah according to their families.

13 He gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh
a portion among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of Yahweh
to Joshua, even Kiriath Arba, named after
the father of Anak (also called Hebron).

14 Calebdrove outthe three sons of Anak:
Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.

15 He went up against the inhabitants of
Debir: now the name of Debir before was
Kiriath Sepher.

16 Caleb said, “He who strikes Kiriath
Sepher, and takes it, to him I will give
Achsah my daughter as wife.”

17 Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother
of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah
his daughter as wife.

18 When she came, she had him ask her
father for a field. She got off her donkey,
and Caleb said, “What do you want?”

19 She said, “Give me a blessing. Because
you have set me in the land of the South,
give me also springs of water.”
So he gave her the upper springs and the
lower springs.

20 This is the inheritance of the tribe of
the children of Judah according to their
families.

21 The farthest cities of the tribe of the
children of Judah toward the border of
Edom in the South were Kabzeel, Eder,
Jagur,

22 Kinah, Dimonah, Adadah,

23 Kedesh, Hazor, Ithnan,
