Joshua:15
Seeker Overlay ON
*
This ,
then ,
was the lot of the tribe of the sons of Judah according to their families :
The border of Edom at the Wilderness of Zin southward was the southern extremity .
*
And their southern border began at the shore of the Salt Sea ,
from the bay that faces southward .
*
Then it went out to the southern side of the 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 .
*
From there it passed toward Azmon and went out to the Brook of Egypt ;
and the border ended at the sea .
This shall be your southern border .
*
The east border was the Salt Sea as far as the end of the Jordan .
And the border on the northern edge began at the bay of the sea at the end of the Jordan .
*
The border went up to Beth Hoglah and passed north of Beth Arabah ;
and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben .
*
And the border went up toward Debir from the Valley of Achor ,
and it turned northward toward Gilgal ,
which is in front of 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 En Rogel .
*
And the border went up by the valley of the Son of Hinnom to the southern slope of the Jebusites (
which is Jerusalem ).
The border went up to the top of the mountain before the Valley of Hinnom westward ,
at the end of the Valley of Rephaim northward .
*
And the border went around from the top of the hill to the fountain of the water of Nephtoah ,
and extended to the cities of Mount Ephron .
And the border went around to Baalah (
which is Kirjath Jearim ).
*
And 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 Timnah .
*
And the border went out to the side of Ekron northward .
And the border went around to Shikkeron ,
passed along to Mount Baalah ,
and extended to Jabneel ;
and the border ended at the sea .
*
The west border was the Great Sea .
This is the border of the sons of Judah all around according to their families .
*
And to Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a share among the sons of Judah ,
according to the commandment of Jehovah to Joshua ,
namely ,
Kirjath Arba ,
which is Hebron (
Arba was the father of Anak ).
*
Caleb dispossessed the three sons of Anak from there :
Sheshai ,
Ahiman ,
and Talmai ,
born to Anak .
*
And he went up from there to the inhabitants of Debir (
formerly the name of Debir was Kirjath Sepher ).
*
And Caleb said ,
He who strikes Kirjath Sepher and takes it ,
to him I will give Achsah my daughter as wife .
*
And Othniel the son of Kenaz ,
the brother of Caleb ,
took it ;
and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife .
*
And it came to pass ,
when she came to him ,
that she urged him to ask her father for a field .
And she dismounted from her donkey ,
and Caleb said to her ,
What do you wish ?
*
She answered ,
Give me a blessing ;
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 .
