King James Version
Now
the
allotment
for
the clans
of the tribe of Judah extended
to the border of Edom ,
to
the Wilderness of Zin at
the extreme
southern
boundary:
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.
Their southern
border started
at
the
bay
on
the southern
tip
of the Salt Sea,
And
their south
border was
from
the shore
of the salt sea, from
the
bay
that
looketh
southward:
proceeded
south
of
the Ascent
of
Akrabbim
, continued
on
to Zin, went
over
to
the south of
Kadesh-barnea
, ran
past
Hezron up to Addar
, and curved
toward
Karka.
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:
It proceeded
to
Azmon, joined
the Brook
of Egypt ,
and ended
at the Sea .
This was
their
southern
border
.
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
.
The eastern
border was the Salt Sea as
far
as
the mouth
of the
Jordan. The
northern
border started
from the bay of the sea at the mouth
of the
Jordan ,
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 :
went up to Beth-hoglah
, proceeded
north of Beth-arabah,
and went up to the Stone of Bohan son of Reuben .
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 :
Then
the border went up to
Debir from the Valley of Achor, turning
north
to
Gilgal, which
faces
the Ascent
of
Adummim south of the ravine.
It
continued
along
the waters of En-shemesh
and came
out at En-rogel.
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:
From
there
the border went up the Valley of Hinnom along
the southern
slope
of the Jebusites
(that
is ,
Jerusalem )
and ascended
to the top of the hill
that faces
the Valley of Hinnom on
the
west
, at the northern
end of the Valley of Rephaim.
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:
From the hilltop
the border
curved
to
the spring
of the Waters
of Nephtoah, proceeded
to the cities of Mount Ephron ,
and then
bent
around
toward
Baalah (that
is
, Kiriath-jearim).
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:
The border curled
westward
from Baalah to
Mount Seir, ran
along the northern
slope
of Mount Jearim (that
is
, Chesalon )
, went down to Beth-shemesh
, and crossed
to Timnah .
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 :
Then
it
went out to
the northern
slope
of Ekron ,
curved
toward
Shikkeron
, proceeded
to Mount Baalah, went on
to
Jabneel ,
and ended
at the Sea.
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.
And the western
border was the
coastline
of
the Great Sea .
These
are
the boundaries
around
the clans
of the descendants
of Judah.
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
.
According
to
the
LORD’s
command
to
him,
Joshua
gave
Caleb son of Jephunneh a portion
among the sons
of Judah —Kiriath-arba
, that
is
, Hebron.
(
Arba was
the forefather
of Anak. )
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
.
And Caleb drove out
from
there
the three sons of Anak —the
descendants
of
Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.
And Caleb drove thence
the three sons of Anak ,
Sheshai, and
Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.
From
there
he marched
against
the inhabitants of Debir (formerly
known
as
Kiriath-sepher)
.
And
he went
up
thence
to
the inhabitants of Debir :
and
the
name
of
Debir
before
was
Kirjathsepher
.
And Caleb said, “To
the
man
who
strikes
down
Kiriath-sepher
and captures
it, I
will give my daughter Acsah
in
marriage
. ”
And Caleb said, He
that
smiteth
Kirjathsepher,
and taketh
it, to
him
will I
give Achsah
my daughter to
wife
.
So
Othniel son of Caleb’s
brother
Kenaz captured
the city
, and Caleb
gave his daughter Acsah
to him
in
marriage
.
And
Othniel the
son of Kenaz ,
the brother
of
Caleb
, took
it:
and he
gave him
Achsah
his daughter to wife
.
One
day
Acsah
came to Othniel
and
urged
him to ask her father for
a field .
When
she got
off her donkey,
Caleb asked
her, “
What do
you
desire
? ”
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
?
“
Give me a blessing ,”
she
answered.
“Since
you
have
given me land in
the
Negev,
give me springs of water as
well
. ”
So
Caleb
gave her both
the upper and lower
springs.
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.
This is the inheritance of the clans
of the tribe
of Judah.
This is the inheritance of the tribe
of the children
of Judah according
to
their
families
.
