1And the lot for the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families was to the border of Edom, 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 turns southward.
3And it went out to the south of the ascent of Akrabbim, and passed over to Zin, and went up from the south to Kadesh-barnea, and passed to Hezron, and went up to Addar, and turned about to Karka.
4And it passed 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, to the end of the Jordan. And the border of the north side was from the bay of the sea at the end of the Jordan.
6And the border went up to Beth-hoglah, and passed to 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 northward turning toward Gilgal, which is opposite the ascent of Adummim, which is on the south of the brook; and the border passed to the waters of En-shemesh, and its goings out were at En-rogel.
8And the border went up the valley of the son of Hinnom to the shoulder of the Jebusite on the south—the same is Jerusalem—and the border went up to the top of the mountain that is before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the uttermost part of the valley of Rephaim northward.
9And the border was drawn from the top of the mountain to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of mount Ephron; and the border was drawn to Baalah—the same is Kiriath-jearim.
10And the border turned about from Baalah westward to mount Seir, and passed to the shoulder of mount Jearim on the north—the same is Chesalon—and went down to Beth-shemesh, and passed to Timnah.
11And the border went out to the shoulder of Ekron northward; and the border was drawn to Shikkeron, and passed to mount Baalah, and went out at Jabneel; and the goings out of the border were at the sea.
12And the west border was the Great Sea and its coast. This is the border of the children of Judah round about according to their families.
13And to Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a portion among the children of Judah, at the mouth of YHWH to Joshua, even Kiriath-arba, the father of Anak—the same is Hebron.
14And Caleb drove out from there the three sons of Anak: Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the offspring of Anak.
15And he went up from there to the inhabitants of Debir; and the name of Debir formerly was Kiriath-sepher.
16And Caleb said: "He who smites Kiriath-sepher and captures it, to him I will give Achsah my daughter for a wife (ishah)."
17And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, captured it; and he gave him Achsah his daughter for a wife (ishah).
18And it came to pass, when she came, that she incited him to ask of her father a field; and she alighted from off the donkey; and Caleb said to her: "What do you want?"
19And she said: "Give me a blessing; for you have given me the land of the south, so give me springs of water." And he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
20This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families.
