Joshua 15:1-19

Joshua 15:1-19

[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 Maalehacrabbim,  and passed  along to Zin,  and ascended up  on the south side  unto Kadeshbarnea,  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 Bethhogla,  and passed  along by the north  of Betharabah;  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 Enshemesh,  and the goings out  thereof were at Enrogel:  [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 Kirjathjearim:  [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 Bethshemesh,  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  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,  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 Kirjathsepher.  [16] And Caleb  said,  He that smiteth  Kirjathsepher,  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.
