1: This then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah by
their families; even to the border of Edom the wilderness of Zin southward was
the uttermost part of the south coast. |
|
2: And their south border was from the shore of the salt sea, from the
bay that looketh southward: |
|
3:
And it went out to the south side to Maaleh-acrabbim, and passed along
to Zin, and ascended up on the south side unto Kadesh-barnea, and passed along
to Hezron, and went up to Adar, and fetched a compass to Karkaa: |
|
4: From thence it passed toward Azmon, and went out unto the river of
Egypt; and the goings out of that coast were at the sea: this shall be your
south coast. |
|
5: And the east border was the salt sea, even unto the end of Jordan. And
their border in the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the uttermost
part of Jordan: |
|
6: And the border went up to Beth-hogla, and passed along by the north of
Beth-arabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben:
|
|
7: And the border went up toward Debir from the valley of Achor, and so
northward, looking toward Gilgal, that is before the going up to Adummim, which
is on the south side of the river: and the border passed toward the waters of
En-shemesh, and the goings out thereof were at En-rogel: |
|
8: And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom unto the
south side of the Jebusite; the same is Jerusalem: and the border went up to the
top of the mountain that lieth before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at
the end of the valley of the giants northward: |
|
9: And the border was drawn from the top of the hill unto the fountain of
the water of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of mount Ephron; and the
border was drawn to Baalah, which is Kirjath-jearim: |
|
10: And the border compassed from Baalah westward unto mount Seir, and
passed along unto the side of mount Jearim, which is Chesalon, on the north
side, and went down to Beth-shemesh, and passed on to Timnah: |
|
11: And the border went out unto the side of Ekron northward: and the
border was drawn to Shicron, and passed along to mount Baalah, and went out unto
Jabneel; and the goings out of the border were at the sea. |
|
12: And the west border was to the great sea, and the coast thereof. This
is the coast of the children of Judah round about according to their families.
|
|
13: And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a part among the children
of Judah, according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua, even the city of
Arba the father of Anak, which city is Hebron. |
|
14: And Caleb drove thence the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman,
and Talmai, the children of Anak. |
|
15: And he went up thence to the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of
Debir before was Kirjath-sepher. |
|
16: And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjath-sepher, and taketh it, to him
will I give Achsah my daughter to wife. |
|
17: And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he
gave him Achsah his daughter to wife. |
|
18: And it came to pass, as she came unto him, that she moved him to ask
of her father a field: and she lighted off her ass; and Caleb said unto her,
What wouldest thou? |
|
19: Who answered, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a south
land; give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs, and the
nether springs. |
|
20: This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah
according to their families. |
|
21: And the uttermost cities of the tribe of the children of Judah toward
the coast of Edom southward were Kabzeel, and Eder, and Jagur, |
