Joshua 15

The Land of Judah
1So this was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families:
#Num. 34:3The border of Edom at the #Num. 33:36Wilderness of Zin southward was the extreme southern boundary. 2And their #Num. 34:3, 4southern border began at the shore of the Salt Sea, from the bay that faces southward. 3Then it went out to the southern side of #Num. 34:4the Ascent of Akrabbim, passed along to Zin, ascended on the south side of Kadesh Barnea, passed along to Hezron, went up to Adar, and went around to Karkaa. 4From there it passed #Num. 34:5toward Azmon and went out to the Brook of Egypt; and the border ended at the sea. This shall be your southern border.
5The east border was the Salt Sea as far as the mouth of the Jordan.
And the #Josh. 18:15–19border on the northern quarter began at the bay of the sea at the mouth of the Jordan. 6The border went up to #Josh. 18:19, 21Beth Hoglah and passed north of Beth Arabah; and the border went up #Josh. 18:17to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben. 7Then the border went up toward #Josh. 13:26Debir from #Josh. 7:26the Valley of Achor, and it turned northward toward Gilgal, which is before the Ascent of Adummim, which is on the south side of the valley. The border continued toward the waters of En Shemesh and ended at #2 Sam. 17:17; 1 Kin. 1:9En Rogel. 8And the border went up #Josh. 18:16; 2 Kin. 23:10; Jer. 19:2, 6by the Valley of the Son of Hinnom to the southern slope of the #Josh. 15:63; 18:28; Judg. 1:21; 19:10Jebusite city (which is Jerusalem). The border went up to the top of the mountain that lies before the Valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the end of the Valley #Josh. 18:16of Rephaim northward. 9Then the border went around from the top of the hill to #Josh. 18:15the fountain of the water of Nephtoah, and extended to the cities of Mount Ephron. And the border went around #1 Chr. 13:6to Baalah (which is #Judg. 18:12Kirjath Jearim). 10Then the border turned westward from Baalah to Mount Seir, passed along to the side of Mount Jearim on the north (which is Chesalon), went down to Beth Shemesh, and passed on to #Gen. 38:13; Judg. 14:1Timnah. 11And the border went out to the side of #Josh. 19:43Ekron northward. Then the border went around to Shicron, passed along to Mount Baalah, and extended to Jabneel; and the border ended at the sea.
12The west border was #Num. 34:6, 7; Josh. 15:47the coastline of the Great Sea. This is the boundary of the children of Judah all around according to their families.
Caleb Occupies Hebron and Debir
13#Josh. 14:13Now to Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a share among the children of #Num. 13:6Judah, according to the commandment of the Lord to Joshua, namely, #Josh. 14:15Kirjath Arba, which is Hebron (Arba was the father of Anak). 14Caleb drove out #Judg. 1:10, 20the three sons of Anak from there: #Num. 13:22Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak. 15Then #Josh. 10:38; Judg. 1:11he went up from there to the inhabitants of Debir (formerly the name of Debir was Kirjath Sepher).
16#Judg. 1:12And Caleb said, “He who attacks Kirjath Sepher and takes it, to him I will give Achsah my daughter as wife.” 17So #Judg. 1:13; 3:9Othniel the #Num. 32:12; Josh. 14:6son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it; and he gave him #Judg. 1:12Achsah his daughter as wife. 18#Judg. 1:14Now it was so, when she came to him, that she persuaded him to ask her father for a field. So #Gen. 24:64; 1 Sam. 25:23she dismounted from her donkey, and Caleb said to her, “What do you wish?” 19She answered, “Give me a #Gen. 33:11blessing; since you have given me land in the South, give me also springs of water.” So he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
