Joshua 15:16-20
16And CalebH3612 saidH559, “To the man whoH834 strikes downH5221 Kiriath-sepherH7158 and captures itH3920, I will giveH5414 my daughterH1323 AcsahH5915 in marriageH802.” 17So OthnielH6274 sonH1121 of Caleb’sH3612 brotherH251 KenazH7073 capturedH3920 the city, and Caleb gaveH5414 his daughterH1323 AcsahH5915 to him in marriageH802.
18One dayH1961 Acsah cameH935 to Othniel and urged himH54961 to askH7592 her fatherH1 forH854 a fieldH7704. When she got offH6795H5921 her donkeyH2543, CalebH3612 askedH559 her, “WhatH4100 do you desire?”
19“GiveH5414 me a blessingH1293,” she answeredH559. “SinceH3588 you have given meH5414 landH776 in the NegevH5045, give meH5414 springsH1543 of waterH4325 as well.”
So Caleb gaveH5414 her both the upperH5942 and lowerH8482 springsH1543.
20ThisH2063 is the inheritanceH5159 of the clansH4940 of the tribeH4294 of JudahH1121H3063.
