[1] The lot for the tribe of the people of Judah according to their
families reached southward to the boundary of Edom, to the wilderness of
Zin at the farthest south. [2] And their south boundary ran from the end of
the Salt Sea, from the bay that faces southward; [3] it goes out southward
of the ascent of Akrab'bim, passes along to Zin, and goes up south of
Ka'desh-bar'nea, along by Hezron, up to Addar, turns about to Karka, [4]
passes along to Azmon, goes out by the Brook of Egypt, and comes to its end
at the sea. This shall be your south boundary. [5] And the east boundary is
the Salt Sea, to the mouth of the Jordan. And the boundary on the north
side runs from the bay of the sea at the mouth of the Jordan; [6] and the
boundary goes up to Beth-hoglah, and passes along north of Beth-arabah; and
the boundary goes up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben; [7] and the
boundary goes up to Debir from the Valley of Achor, and so northward,
turning toward Gilgal, which is opposite the ascent of Adum'mim, which is
on the south side of the valley; and the boundary passes along to the
waters of En-she'mesh, and ends at En-ro'gel; [8] then the boundary goes up
by the valley of the son of Hinnom at the southern shoulder of the
Jeb'usite (that is, Jerusalem); and the boundary goes up to the top of the
mountain that lies over against the valley of Hinnom, on the west, at the
northern end of the valley of Reph'aim; [9] then the boundary extends from
the top of the mountain to the spring of the Waters of Nephto'ah, and from
there to the cities of Mount Ephron; then the boundary bends round to
Ba'alah (that is, Kir'iath-je'arim); [10] and the boundary circles west of
Ba'alah to Mount Se'ir, passes along to the northern shoulder of Mount
Je'arim (that is, Ches'alon), and goes down to Beth-she'mesh, and passes
along by Timnah; [11] the boundary goes out to the shoulder of the hill
north of Ekron, then the boundary bends round to Shik'keron, and passes
along to Mount Ba'alah, and goes out to Jabneel; then the boundary comes to
an end at the sea. [12] And the west boundary was the Great Sea with its
coast-line. This is the boundary round about the people of Judah according
to their families. [13] According to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua,
he gave to Caleb the son of Jephun'neh a portion among the people of Judah,
Kir'iath-ar'ba, that is, Hebron (Arba was the father of Anak). [14] And
Caleb drove out from there the three sons of Anak, She'shai and Ahi'man and
Talmai, the descendants of Anak. [15] And he went up from there against the
inhabitants of Debir; now the name of Debir formerly was Kir'iath-se'pher.
[16] And Caleb said, "Whoever smites Kir'iath-se'pher, and takes it, to him
will I give Achsah my daughter as wife." [17] And Oth'ni-el the son of
Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it; and he gave him Achsah his daughter
as wife. [18] When she came to him, she urged him to ask her father for a
field; and she alighted from her ass, and Caleb said to her, "What do you
wish?" [19] She said to him, "Give me a present; since you have set me in
the land of the Negeb, give me also springs of water." And Caleb gave her
the upper springs and the lower springs. [20] This is the inheritance of
the tribe of the people of Judah according to their families. [21] The
cities belonging to the tribe of the people of Judah in the extreme South,
toward the boundary of Edom, were Kabzeel, Eder, Jagur, [22] Kinah,

Ashdod, with their villages. [47] Ashdod, its towns and its villages; Gaza,

its coast-line. [48] And in the hill country, Shamir, Jattir, Socoh, [49]

[58] Halhul, Beth-zur, Gedor, [59] Ma'arath, Beth-anoth, and El'tekon: six
cities with their villages. [60] Kir'iath-ba'al (that is,

wilderness, Beth-arabah, Middin, Seca'cah, [62] Nibshan, the City of Salt,
and En-ge'di: six cities with their villages. [63] But the Jeb'usites, the
inhabitants of Jerusalem, the people of Judah could not drive out; so the
Jeb'usites dwell with the people of Judah at Jerusalem to this day.
