| |
| | Jos 15:1 | 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.
| |
| | Jos 15:2 | Their south border was from the uttermost part of the Salt Sea, from the bay that looks southward;
| |
| | Jos 15:3 | and 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;
| |
| | Jos 15:4 | and 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.
| |
| | Jos 15:5 | 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;
| |
| | Jos 15:6 | and 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;
| |
| | Jos 15:7 | and 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 of it were at En Rogel;
| |
| | Jos 15:8 | and the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom to the side of the Jebusite southward (the same is Jerusalem); and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lies before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the uttermost part of the valley of Rephaim northward;
| |
| | Jos 15:9 | and the border extended 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 extended to Baalah (the same is Kiriath Jearim);
| |
| | Jos 15:10 | and the border turned about from Baalah westward to Mount Seir, and passed along to the side of Mount Jearim on the north (the same is Chesalon), and went down to Beth-shemesh, and passed along by Timnah;
| |
| | Jos 15:11 | 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.
| |
| | Jos 15:12 | The west border was to the great sea, and the border [of it]. This is the border of the children of Judah round about according to their families.
| |
| | Jos 15:13 | To Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a portion among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of Yahweh to Joshua, even Kiriath Arba, [which Arba was] the father of Anak (the same is Hebron).
| |
| | Jos 15:14 | Caleb drove out there the three sons of Anak: Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.
| |
| | Jos 15:15 | He went up there against the inhabitants of Debir: now the name of Debir before was Kiriath Sepher.
| |
| | Jos 15:16 | Caleb said, He who strikes Kiriath Sepher, and takes it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter as wife.
| |
| | Jos 15:17 | Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife.
| |
| | Jos 15:18 | It happened, when she came [to him], that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she alighted from off her donkey; and Caleb said, What would you?
| |
| | Jos 15:19 | She said, Give me a blessing; for that you have set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water. He gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
