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. 2 Their south border was from the
uttermost part of the Salt Sea, from the bay that looks southward; 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; 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. 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; 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; 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; 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; 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); 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;
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. 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. 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). 14 Caleb
drove out there the three sons of Anak: Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the
children of Anak. 15 He went up there against the inhabitants of Debir:
now the name of Debir before was Kiriath Sepher. 16 Caleb said, He who
strikes Kiriath Sepher, and takes it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter
as wife. 17 Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and
he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife. 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? 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. 20 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah
according to their families. 21 The uttermost cities of the tribe of the
children of Judah toward the border of Edom in the South were Kabzeel, and
Eder, and Jagur, 22 and Kinah, and Dimonah, and Adadah, 23 and Kedesh,
and Hazor, and Ithnan, 24 Ziph, and Telem, and Bealoth, 25 Hazor

and its villages; 46 from Ekron even to the sea, all that were by the side
of Ashdod, with their villages. 47 Ashdod, its towns and its villages;

and the border of it. 48 In the hill-country, Shamir, and Jattir,
and Socoh, 49 and Dannah, and Kiriath Sannah (the same is Debir),
50 and Anab, and Eshtemoh, and Anim, 51 and Goshen, and Holon, and

53 and Janim, and Beth Tappuah, and Aphekah, 54 and Humtah, and Kiriath

Kiriath Jearim), and Rabbah; two cities with their villages. 61 In the
wilderness, Beth Arabah, Middin, and Secacah, 62 and Nibshan, and the City
of Salt, and En Gedi; six cities with their villages. 63 As for the
Jebusites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children of Judah couldn't drive
them out: but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem to
this day.
