This then
was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah
by their families; even to the border of Edom the
wilderness of Zin southward was the uttermost
part of the south coast.
02 And their south border was from the shore of
the salt sea, from the bay that looketh
southward:
03 And it went out to the south side to
Maalehacrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and
ascended up on the south side unto Kadeshbarnea,
and passed along to Hezron, and went up to Adar,
and fetched a compass to Karkaa:
04 From thence it passed toward Azmon, and went
out unto the river of Egypt; and the goings out
of that coast were at the sea: this shall be your
south coast.
05 And the east border was the salt sea, even
unto the end of Jordan. And their border in the
north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the
uttermost part of Jordan:
06 And the border went up to Bethhogla, and
passed along by the north of Betharabah; and the
border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of
Reuben:
07 And the border went up toward Debir from the
valley of Achor, and so northward, looking toward
Gilgal, that is before the going up to Adummim,
which is on the south side of the river: and the
border passed toward the waters of Enshemesh, and
the goings out thereof were at Enrogel:
08 And the border went up by the valley of the
son of Hinnom unto the south side of the
Jebusite; 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 end of the valley of the giants northward:
09 And the border was drawn from the top of the
hill unto the fountain of the water of Nephtoah,
and went out to the cities of mount Ephron; and
the border was drawn to Baalah, which is
Kirjathjearim:
10 And the border compassed from Baalah westward
unto mount Seir, and passed along unto the side
of mount Jearim, which is Chesalon, on the north
side, and went down to Bethshemesh, and passed on
to Timnah:
11 And the border went out unto the side of Ekron
northward: and the border was drawn to Shicron,
and passed along to mount Baalah, and went out
unto Jabneel; and the goings out of the border
were at the sea.
12 And the west border was to the great sea, and
the coast thereof. This is the coast of the
children of Judah round about according to their
families.
13 And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a
part among the children of Judah, according to
the commandment of the Lord to Joshua, even the
city of Arba the father of Anak, which city is
Hebron.
14 And Caleb drove thence the three sons of Anak,
Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of
Anak.
15 And he went up thence to the inhabitants of
Debir: and the name of Debir before was
Kirjathsepher.
16 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjathsepher,
and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my
daughter to wife.
17 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of
Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his
daughter to wife.
18 And it came to pass, as she came unto him,
that she moved him to ask of her father a field:
and she lighted off her ass; and Caleb said unto
her, What wouldest thou?
19 Who answered, Give me a blessing; for thou
hast given me a south land; give me also springs
of water. And he gave her the upper springs, and
the nether springs.
20 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the
children of Judah according to their families.
21 And the uttermost cities of the tribe of the
children of Judah toward the coast of Edom
southward were Kabzeel, and Eder, and Jagur,22
And Kinah, and Dimonah, and Adadah,
