1And the lotH1486 for the tribeH4294 of the children of JudahH3063 according to their familiesH4940 wasH1961 unto the borderH1366 of EdomH123, even to the wildernessH4057 of ZinH6790 southward, at the uttermost part of the southH5045. 2And their southH5045 borderH1366 wasH1961 from the uttermost part of the SaltH4417 SeaH3220, from the bayH3956 that looketh southward; 3and it wentH3318 out southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and passedH5674 along to ZinH6790, and wentH3318 up by the southH5045 of Kadesh-barneaH6947, and passedH5674 along by HezronH2696, and wentH3318 up to AddarH146, and turnedH5437 about to Karka; 4and it passedH5674 along to AzmonH6111, and wentH3318 out at the brook of EgyptH4714; and the goings out of the borderH1366 wereH1961 at the seaH3220: this shall beH1961 your southH5045 borderH1366. 5And the eastH6924 borderH1366 was the SaltH4417 SeaH3220, even unto the endH7097 of the JordanH3383. And the borderH1366 of the northH6828 quarter was from the bayH3956 of the seaH3220 at the endH7097 of the JordanH3383; 6and the borderH1366 wentH5927 up to Beth-hoglahH1031, and passedH5674 along by the northH6828 of Beth-arabahH1026; and the borderH1366 wentH5927 up to the stoneH68 of BohanH932 the sonH1121 of ReubenH7205; 7and the borderH1366 wentH5927 up to DebirH1688 from the valleyH6010 of AchorH5911, and so northward, looking toward GilgalH1537, that is over against the ascentH4608 of AdummimH131, which is on the southH5045 side of the riverH5158; and the borderH1366 passedH5674 along to the watersH4325 of En-shemeshH5885, and the goings out thereof were at En-rogelH5883; 8and the borderH1366 wentH5927 up by the valleyH6010 of the sonH1121 of HinnomH2011 unto the sideH3802 of the JebusiteH2983 southward (the same is JerusalemH3389); and the borderH1366 wentH5927 up to the topH7218 of the mountainH2022 that lieth before the valleyH6010 of HinnomH2011 westward, which is at the uttermost part of the vale of RephaimH7497 northward; 9and the borderH1366 extended from the topH7218 of the mountainH2022 unto the fountain of the watersH4325 of NephtoahH5318, and wentH3318 out to the citiesH5892 of mount EphronH6085; and the borderH1366 extended to BaalahH1173 (the same is Kiriath-jearimH7157); 10and the borderH1366 turnedH5437 about from BaalahH1173 westward unto mount SeirH8165, and passedH5674 along unto the sideH3802 of mount Jearim on the northH6828 (the same is Chesalon), and wentH3381 downH3381 to Beth-shemeshH1053, and passedH5674 along by TimnahH8553; 11and the borderH1366 wentH3318 out unto the sideH3802 of EkronH6138 northward; and the borderH1366 extended to Shikkeron, and passedH5674 along to mount BaalahH1173, and wentH3318 out at JabneelH2995; and the goings out of the borderH1366 wereH1961 at the seaH3220. 12And the westH3220 borderH1366 was to the greatH1419 seaH3220, and the borderH1366 thereof. This is the borderH1366 of the children of JudahH3063 roundH5439 about according to their familiesH4940.
13And unto CalebH3612 the sonH1121 of JephunnehH3312 he gaveH5414 a portionH2506 among the children of JudahH3063, according to the commandment of Jehovah to JoshuaH3091, even Kiriath-arbaH7153, which Arba was the fatherH1 of AnakH6061 (the same is HebronH2275). 14And CalebH3612 drove out thence the threeH7969 sonsH1121 of AnakH6061: SheshaiH8344, and AhimanH289, and TalmaiH8526, the children of AnakH6061. 15And he wentH5927 up thence against the inhabitantsH3427 of DebirH1688: now the nameH8034 of DebirH1688 beforetime was Kiriath-sepherH7158. 16And CalebH3612 saidH559, He that smiteth Kiriath-sepherH7158, and taketh it, to him will I giveH5414 AchsahH5915 my daughterH1323 to wifeH802. 17And OthnielH6274 the sonH1121 of KenazH7073, the brotherH251 of CalebH3612, tookH3920 it: and he gaveH5414 him AchsahH5915 his daughterH1323 to wifeH802. 18And it cameH935 to pass, when she cameH935 unto him, that she moved him to askH7592 of her fatherH1 a fieldH7704: and she alighted from off her ass; and CalebH3612 saidH559, What wouldest thou? 19And she saidH559, GiveH5414 me a blessingH1293; for that thou hast setH5414 me in the landH776 of the SouthH5045, giveH5414 me also springs of waterH4325. And he gaveH5414 her the upperH5942 springs and the nether springs.
