Joshua 15:4-47
4It 1continuedH5674 to AzmonH6111 and proceededH3318 to the 23brookH5158 of EgyptH4714, and the 4borderH1366 endedH1961H8444 at the seaH3220. ThisH2088 shall be your southH5045 borderH1366. 5The 5eastH6924 borderH1366 was the SaltH4417 SeaH3220, as farH5704 as the 6mouthH7097 of the JordanH3383. And the 7borderH1366 of the northH6828 sideH6285 was from the bayH3956 of the seaH3220 at the 8mouthH7097 of the JordanH3383. 6Then the borderH1366 wentH5927 up to Beth-hoglahH1031, and continuedH5674 on the northH6828 of Beth-arabahH1026, and the borderH1366 wentH5927 up to the stoneH68 of BohanH932 the sonH1121 of ReubenH7205. 7The borderH1366 wentH5927 up to DebirH1688 from 9the valleyH6010 of AchorH5911, and turnedH6437 northwardH6828 towardH413 GilgalH1537 whichH834 is oppositeH5227 the ascentH4608 of AdummimH131, whichH834 is on the southH5045 of the valleyH5158; and the borderH1366 continuedH5674 to the watersH4325 of En-shemeshH5885 and 10it endedH1961H8444 at En-rogelH5883. 8Then the borderH1366 wentH5927 up the valleyH1516 of Ben-hinnomH1121H2011 to the slopeH3802 of the 11JebusiteH2983 on the southH5045 (that is, JerusalemH3389); and the borderH1366 wentH5927 up to the topH7218 of the mountainH2022 whichH834 is beforeH5921H6440 the valleyH1516 of HinnomH2011 to the westH3220, whichH834 is at the endH7097 of the valleyH6010 of RephaimH7497 toward the northH6828. 9From the topH7218 of the mountainH2022 the borderH1366 curvedH8388 to the springH4599 of the watersH4325 of NephtoahH5318 and proceededH3318 to the citiesH5892 of MountH2022 EphronH6085, then the borderH1366 curvedH8388 to 12BaalahH1173 (that is, 13Kiriath-jearimH7157). 10The borderH1366 turnedH5437 aboutH5437 from BaalahH1173 westwardH3220 to MountH2022 SeirH8165, and continuedH5674 to the slopeH3802 of MountH2022 JearimH3297 on the northH6828 (that is, ChesalonH3693), and wentH3381 downH3381 to Beth-shemeshH1053 and continuedH5674 throughH5674 14TimnahH8553. 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 15borderH1366 endedH1961H8444 at the seaH3220. 12The westH3220 borderH1366 was 16at the GreatH1419 SeaH3220, even its 17coastlineH1366. ThisH2088 is the borderH1366 aroundH5439 the sonsH1121 of JudahH3063 according to their familiesH4940.
13Now 18he gaveH5414 to CalebH3612 the sonH1121 of JephunnehH3312 a portionH2506 19amongH8432 the sonsH1121 of JudahH3063, accordingH413 to the 20commandH6310 of the LordH3068 to JoshuaH3091, namely, 21Kiriath-arbaH7153, Arba being the fatherH1 of AnakH6061 (that is, HebronH2275). 1422CalebH3612 23droveH3423 out from thereH8033 the threeH7969 24sonsH1121 of AnakH6061: SheshaiH8344 and AhimanH289 and TalmaiH8526, the childrenH3211 of AnakH6061. 15Then 25he wentH5927 up from thereH8033 againstH413 the inhabitantsH3427 of DebirH1688; now the nameH8034 of DebirH1688 formerlyH6440 was Kiriath-sepherH7158. 16And CalebH3612 saidH559, “The one whoH834 26attacksH5221 Kiriath-sepherH7158 and capturesH3920 it, 27I will giveH5414 him AchsahH5915 my daughterH1323 as a wifeH802.” 1728OthnielH6274 the sonH1121 of KenazH7073, the brotherH251 of CalebH3612, capturedH3920 it; so he gaveH5414 him AchsahH5915 his daughterH1323 as a wifeH802. 1829It 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 30NegevH5045, 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.
21Now the citiesH5892 at the extremityH7097 of the tribeH4294 of the sonsH1121 of JudahH3063 towardH413 the borderH1366 of EdomH112 in the southH5045 were KabzeelH6909 and 31EderH5740 and JagurH3017, 22and KinahH7016 and DimonahH1776 and AdadahH5735, 23and KedeshH6943 and HazorH2674 and IthnanH3497, 24ZiphH2128 and TelemH2928 and BealothH1175, 25and Hazor-hadattahH2675 and Kerioth-hezronH7152H2696 (that is, HazorH2674), 26AmamH538 and ShemaH8090 and MoladahH4137, 27and Hazar-gaddahH2693 and HeshmonH2829 and Beth-peletH1046, 28and Hazar-shualH2705 and 32BeershebaH884 and BiziothiahH964, 29BaalahH1173 and IimH5864 and EzemH6107, 30and EltoladH513 and ChesilH3686 and HormahH2767, 31and 33ZiklagH6860 and MadmannahH4089 and SansannahH5578, 32and LebaothH3822 and ShilhimH7978 and AinH5871 and RimmonH7417; in allH3605, twenty-nineH6242H8672 citiesH5892 with their villagesH2691.
