Joshua 15:10-57

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 1Timnah. 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 2border ended at the sea. 12The west border was 3at the Great Sea, even its 4coastline. This is the border around the sons of Judah according to their families.

13Now 5he gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh a portion 6among the sons of Judah, according to the 7command of the Lord to Joshua, namely, 8Kiriath-arba, Arba being the father of Anak (that is, Hebron). 149Caleb 10drove out from there the three 11sons of Anak: Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai, the children of Anak. 15Then 12he went up from there against the inhabitants of Debir; now the name of Debir formerly was Kiriath-sepher. 16And Caleb said, “The one who 13attacks Kiriath-sepher and captures it, 14I will give him Achsah my daughter as a wife.” 1715Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, captured it; so he gave him Achsah his daughter as a wife. 1816It came about that when she came to him, she persuaded him to ask her father for a field. So she alighted from the donkey, and Caleb said to her, “What do you want?” 19Then she said, “Give me a blessing; since you have given me the land of the 17Negev, give me also springs of water.” So he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.

20This is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Judah according to their families.
