Joshua 15:1-12

1Now 1the lot for the tribe of the sons of Judah according to their families 2reached the 3border of Edom, southward to the 4wilderness of Zin at the extreme south. 2Their south border was from the lower end of the Salt Sea, from the bay that turns to the south. 3Then it proceeded southward to the ascent of Akrabbim and continued to Zin, then went up by the south of Kadesh-barnea and continued to Hezron, and went up to Addar and turned about to Karka. 4It 5continued to Azmon and proceeded to the 67brook of Egypt, and the 8border ended at the sea. This shall be your south border. 5The 9east border was the Salt Sea, as far as the 10mouth of the Jordan. And the 11border of the north side was from the bay of the sea at the 12mouth of the Jordan. 6Then the border went up to Beth-hoglah, and continued on the north of Beth-arabah, and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben. 7The border went up to Debir from 13the valley of Achor, and turned northward toward Gilgal which is opposite the ascent of Adummim, which is on the south of the valley; and the border continued to the waters of En-shemesh and 14it ended at En-rogel. 8Then the border went up the valley of Ben-hinnom to the slope of the 15Jebusite on the south (that is, Jerusalem); and the border went up to the top of the mountain which is before the valley of Hinnom to the west, which is at the end of the valley of Rephaim toward the north. 9From the top of the mountain the border curved to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah and proceeded to the cities of Mount Ephron, then the border curved to 16Baalah (that is, 17Kiriath-jearim). 10The border turned about from Baalah westward to Mount Seir, and continued to the slope of Mount Jearim on the north (that is, Chesalon), and went down to Beth-shemesh and continued through 18Timnah. 11The border proceeded to the side of Ekron northward. Then the border curved to Shikkeron and continued to Mount Baalah and proceeded to Jabneel, and the 19border ended at the sea. 12The west border was 20at the Great Sea, even its 21coastline. This is the border around the sons of Judah according to their families.
