Joshua 15:11-45

11The borderH1366 proceededH3318 to the sideH3802 of EkronH6138 northwardH6828. Then the borderH1366 curvedH8388 to ShikkeronH7942 and continuedH5674 to MountH2022 BaalahH1173 and proceededH3318 to JabneelH2995, and the 1borderH1366 endedH1961H8444 at the seaH3220. 12The westH3220 borderH1366 was 2at the GreatH1419 SeaH3220, even its 3coastlineH1366. ThisH2088 is the borderH1366 aroundH5439 the sonsH1121 of JudahH3063 according to their familiesH4940.

13Now 4he gaveH5414 to CalebH3612 the sonH1121 of JephunnehH3312 a portionH2506 5amongH8432 the sonsH1121 of JudahH3063, accordingH413 to the 6commandH6310 of the LordH3068 to JoshuaH3091, namely, 7Kiriath-arbaH7153, Arba being the fatherH1 of AnakH6061 (that is, HebronH2275). 148CalebH3612 9droveH3423 out from thereH8033 the threeH7969 10sonsH1121 of AnakH6061: SheshaiH8344 and AhimanH289 and TalmaiH8526, the childrenH3211 of AnakH6061. 15Then 11he wentH5927 up from thereH8033 againstH413 the inhabitantsH3427 of DebirH1688; now the nameH8034 of DebirH1688 formerlyH6440 was Kiriath-sepherH7158. 16And CalebH3612 saidH559, “The one whoH834 12attacksH5221 Kiriath-sepherH7158 and capturesH3920 it, 13I will giveH5414 him AchsahH5915 my daughterH1323 as a wifeH802.” 1714OthnielH6274 the sonH1121 of KenazH7073, the brotherH251 of CalebH3612, capturedH3920 it; so he gaveH5414 him AchsahH5915 his daughterH1323 as a wifeH802. 1815It cameH1961 about that when she cameH935 to him, she persuadedH5496 him to askH7592 her fatherH1 for a fieldH7704. So she alightedH6795 from the donkeyH2543, and CalebH3612 saidH559 to her, “WhatH4100 do you want?” 19Then she saidH559, “GiveH5414 me a blessingH1293; sinceH3588 you have givenH5414 me the landH776 of the 16NegevH5045, giveH5414 me also springsH1543 of waterH4325.” So he gaveH5414 her the upperH5942 springsH1543 and the lowerH8482 springsH1543.

20ThisH2088 is the inheritanceH5159 of the tribeH4294 of the sonsH1121 of JudahH3063 according to their familiesH4940.
