1And the lot for the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families was unto the border of Edom, even to the wilderness of Zin southward , at the uttermost part of the south . 2And their south border was from the uttermost part of the Salt Sea , from the bay that looketh southward ; 3and it went out southward of the ascent of Akrabbim , and passed along to Zin , and went up by the south of Kadesh-barnea , and passed along by Hezron , and went up to Addar, and turned about to Karka ; 4and it passed along to Azmon , and went out at the brook of Egypt ; and the goings out of the border were at the sea : this shall be your south border . 5And the east border was the Salt Sea , even unto the end of the Jordan . And the border of the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the end of the Jordan ; 6and 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 ; 7and the border went up to Debir from the valley of Achor , and so northward , looking toward Gilgal , that is over against the ascent of Adummim, which is on the south side of the river ; and the border passed along to the waters of En-shemesh , and the goings out thereof were at En-rogel ; 8and the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom unto the side of the Jebusite southward ( 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 uttermost part of the vale of Rephaim northward ; 9and the border extended from the top of the mountain unto the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah , and went out to the cities of mount Ephron ; and the border extended to Baalah ( the same is Kiriath-jearim ); 10and the border turned about from Baalah westward unto mount Seir , and passed along unto the side of mount Jearim on the north ( the same is Chesalon ), and went down to Beth-shemesh , and passed along by Timnah ; 11and the border went out unto 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 . 12And the west border was to the great sea , and the border thereof . This is the border of the children of Judah round about according to their families .
Caleb's Inheritance
13And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a portion among the children of Judah , according to the commandment of Jehovah to Joshua , even Kiriath-arba , which Arba was the father of Anak ( the same is Hebron ). 14And Caleb drove out thence the three sons of Anak : Sheshai , and Ahiman, and Talmai , the children of Anak . 15And he went up thence against the inhabitants of Debir : now the name of Debir beforetime was Kiriath-sepher . 16And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kiriath-sepher , and taketh it , to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife. 17And Othniel the son of Kenaz , the brother of Caleb , took it : and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife. 18And it came to pass , when she came unto him , that she moved him to ask of her father a field : and she alighted from off her ass ; and Caleb said, What wouldest thou ? 19And she said, Give me a blessing ; for that thou hast set me in the land of the South , give me also springs of water . And he gave her the upper springs and the nether springs .
