Joshua 15:11-45

11Then it went out to the hills north of Ekron, and on towards Shikkeron. It went past Baalah mountain, as far as Jabneel. Judah's north border ended at the sea.

12The west border of Judah's land was the Mediterranean Sea. Those were the borders of the land which Judah's tribe and its clans received.

131The Lord had told Joshua to give Kiriath Arba to Caleb, Jephunneh's son. That was the part of Judah's land that Caleb received. Arba was the father of Anak. Kiriath Arba was now called Hebron.

14Caleb chased out the three sons of Anak from Hebron. Their names were Sheshai, Ahiman and Talmai.

15From there he went to attack the people of Debir. (Debir had been called Kiriath Sepher).

16Caleb said, ‘If a brave man attacks and takes Kiriath Sepher, he can marry my daughter, Acsah.’

17Othniel attacked the city and he took it. He was the son of Caleb's brother, Kenaz. So Caleb gave his daughter Acsah to Othniel, to be his wife.

18After this, Acsah told Othniel that they should ask her father to give them some land. She went to see her father, Caleb. As she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, ‘What would you like me to do for you?’

19She said, ‘Please be kind and give me a special gift. You have given me some land in the Negev desert. Now please give me a place with springs so that I have water for the land.’ So Caleb gave her some land with springs, on high land and on low land.

20This is the land that Joshua gave to the clans of Judah's tribe.
