Allotments to Judah

15Joshua said, "Now the allotment for the tribe of the descendants of Judah, allocated according to their families, will extend to the border of Edom, southward to the wilderness of Zin until land's end,H1486H4294H1121H3063H4940H1366H123H4057H6790H5045H7097H8486
2then from the southern end of the Dead Sea, that is, from the bay that orients toward the NegevH5045H1366H7097H4417H3220H3956H6437H5045
3proceeding south to the ascent of Akrabbim, then continuing to Zin, and from there up along the south of Kadesh-barnea to Hezron, and from there up to Addar and then to Karka,H3318H5045H4610H5674H6790H5927H5045H6947H5674H2696H5927H146H5437H7173
4passing along to Azmon toward the Wadi of Egypt and ending at the sea. This will be your southern border."3H5674H6111H3318H5158H4714H8444H1366H3220H5045H1366
5The eastern border was the Dead Sea as far as the mouth of the Jordan River. The border of the north side extended from the bay of the sea at the mouth of the Jordan RiverH6924H1366H4417H3220H7097H3383H1366H6828H6285H3956H3220H7097H3383
6toward Beth-hoglah, and continuing on the north of Beth-arabah. The border ascended up to the boundary marker set up by Reuben's son Bohan.H1366H5927H1031H5674H6828H1026H1366H5927H68H932H1121H7205
7The boundary then went up to Debir from the Achor valley and turned north toward Gilgal opposite the ascent of Adummim in the southern part of the valley. Then the border continued to the waters of En-shemesh and terminated at En-rogel.H1366H5927H1688H6010H5911H6828H6437H1537H5227H4608H131H5045H5158H1366H5674H4325H5885H8444H5883
8Then the border proceeded up the valley of Ben-hinnom to the southern ascent of the Jebusites (that is, to Jerusalem), and from there to the top of the mountain that faces the valley of Hinnom to the west at the end of the valley of Rephaim toward the north.H1366H5927H1516H1121H2011H5045H3802H2983H3389H1366H5927H7218H2022H6440H1516H2011H3220H7097H6010H7497H6828
9The border proceeded from the top of the mountain to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah, then to the cities of Mount Ephron, and then the border curved toward Baalah (also known as Kireath-jearim).H1366H8388H7218H2022H4599H4325H5318H3318H5892H2022H6085H1366H8388H1173H7157
10The border turned west from Baalah to Mount Seir, continuing to the top of Mount Jearim on the north (also known as Chesalon), and then proceeded to Beth-shemesh, continuing through Timnah.H1366H5437H1173H3220H2022H8165H5674H3802H2022H3297H3693H6828H3381H1053H5674H8553
11The border proceeded north to the edge of Ekron, then curved to Shikkeron and on to Mount Baalah, proceeding then to Jabneel, where the boundary ended at the sea.H1366H3318H3802H6138H6828H1366H8388H7942H5674H2022H1173H3318H2995H8444H1366H3220
12The western border was at the Mediterranean Sea coastline. This is the border that surrounded the territory of the descendants of Judah, according to their families.H3220H1366H1419H3220H1366H1366H1121H3063H5439H4940

Caleb’s Conquests

13Now Joshua gave an allotment among the descendants of Judah to Jephunneh's son Caleb, just as God told Joshua, Kiriath-arba, which was named after the ancestor of Anak (that is, Hebron).H3612H1121H3312H5414H2506H8432H1121H3063H413H6310H3068H3091H7151H704H7153H1H6061H2275
14From there Caleb drove the three descendants of Anak, Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmi, the Anakim.H3612H3423H7969H1121H6061H8344H289H8526H3211H6061
15Then he went up from there to attack the inhabitants of Debir. (Debir was formerly known as Kiriath-sepher.)H5927H3427H1688H8034H1688H6440H7158
16Then Caleb announced, "I will give my daughter Achsah in marriage to the one who attacks Kiriath-sepher and captures it."H3612H559H5221H7158H3920H5414H5915H1323H802
17Othniel, the son of Caleb's brother Kenaz, captured it, so Caleb gave him his daughter Achsah as his wife.H6274H1121H7073H251H3612H3920H5414H5915H1323H802
18Sometime later, she came to Othniel and persuaded him to ask her father for a field. As she dismounted from her donkey, Caleb asked her, "What do you want?"H935H5496H7592H1H7704H6795H2543H3612H559
19She replied, "Give me a blessing, since you have given me the land of the Negev. Give me also some springs of water." So he gave her the upper and lower springs.H559H5414H1293H5414H5045H776H5414H1543H4325H5414H5942H1543H8482H1543
