Joshua
Josh.15
[1] 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.
[2] And their south border was from the shore of the salt
sea, from the bay that looketh southward:
[3] And it went out to the south side to Maaleh-acrabbim,
and passed along to Zin, and ascended up on the south side unto
Kadesh-barnea, and passed along to Hezron, and went up to Adar,
and fetched a compass to Karkaa:
[4] 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.
[5] 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:
[6] And the border went up to Beth-hogla, and passed along
by the north of Beth-arabah; and the border went up to the stone
of Bohan the son of Reuben:
[7] 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 En-shemesh, and the
goings out thereof were at En-rogel:
[8] 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:
[9] 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
Kirjath-jearim:
[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 Beth-shemesh,
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 Kirjath-sepher.
[16] And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjath-sepher, 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,

dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem unto this day.
