Joshua
Chapter 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 Ma-a-leh-ac-rab-bim, and passed
along to Zin, and ascended up on the south side unto Kadesh-bar-ne-a,
and passed along to Hezron, and went up to Adar, and fetched a compass
to Kar-ka-a:
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-ar-a-bah; 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 A-chor, and so
northward, looking toward Gilgal, that is before the going up to A-dum-mim,
which is on the south side of the river: and the border passed toward
the waters of En-she-mesh, and the goings out thereof where at En-ro-gel:
8. And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom unto the
south side of the Jeb-u-site; 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 Neph-to-ah, and went out to the cities of mount Ephron;
and the border was drawn to Ba-a-lah, which is Kir-jath-je-a-rim:
10. And the border compassed from Ba-a-lah westward unto mount Seir, and
passed along unto the side of mount Je-a-rim, which is Ches-a-lon, on
the north side, and went down to Beth-she-mesh, and passed on to
Tim-nah:
11. And the border went out unto the side of Ekron northward: and the
border was drawn to Shic-ron, and passed along to mount Ba-a-lah, 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 Je-phun-neh 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, She-shai, and
A-hi-man, and Tal-mai, the children of Anak.
15. And he went up thence to the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of
Debir before was Kir-jath-se-pher.
16. And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kir-jath-se-pher, and taketh it, to
him will I give Ach-sha my daughter to wife.
17. And Othniel the son of Ke-naz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he
gave him Ach-sah 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.
