Joshua 15:13-19

Joshua 15:13-19 TPT

YAHWEH had commanded Joshua, “Give a share of the territory from the tribe of Judah to Caleb son of Jephunneh.” So Joshua gave him the city of Hebron which was founded by Arba, the ancestor of Anak. Caleb drove out three Anakim from Hebron: Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai—descendants of Anak. From Hebron, he marched out and fought against the people of Debir, which used to be called Kiriath Sepher. Caleb once promised, “Whoever succeeds in capturing Kiriath Sepher may marry my daughter Achsah.” Caleb’s nephew Othniel, the son of his brother Kenaz, took the city, so Caleb gave him the hand of his daughter Achsah in marriage. One day, Achsah came and charmed her father so that she could ask him for a gift. When she got down from her donkey, Caleb said to her, “What would you like for a wedding present?” “Father,” she replied, “give me a special gift. You have already given me land, but it’s in arid country. Please, also give me some springs of water.” So Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs near the city of Hebron.
