[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 vale 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 nether 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] and Hazor-hadattah, and Kerioth-hezron (the same
is Hazor), [26] Amam, and Shema, and Moladah, [27] and Hazar-gaddah, and
Heshmon, and Beth-pelet, [28] and Hazar-shual, and Beersheba, and
Biziothiah, [29] Baalah, and Iim, and Ezem, [30] and Eltolad, and Chesil,

with their villages. [42] Libnah, and Ether, and Ashan, [43] and Iphtah,
and Ashnah, and Nezib, [44] and Keilah, and Achzib, and Mareshah; nine
cities with their villages. [45] Ekron, with its towns 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; Gaza, its towns
and its villages; to the brook of Egypt, and the great sea, 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 Giloh; eleven cities
with their villages. [52] Arab, and Dumah, and Eshan, [53] and Janim, and
Beth-tappuah, and Aphekah, [54] and Humtah, and Kiriath-arba (the same is
Hebron), and Zior; nine cities with their villages. [55] Maon, Carmel, and
Ziph, and Jutah, [56] and Jezreel, and Jokdeam, and Zanoah, [57] Kain,
Gibeah, and Timnah; ten cities with their villages. [58] Halhul, Beth-zur,
and Gedor, [59] and Maarath, and Beth-anoth, and Eltekon; six cities with
their villages. [60] Kiriath-baal (the same is Kiriath-jearim), and Rabbah;

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.
