1[This] then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] by their families; [even] to the border of Edom [Red] the wilderness of Tzin [Flat] southward [was] the uttermost part of the south coast. 2And their south border was from the shore of the salt sea, from the bay that looks southward: 3And it went out to the south side to the Ascent of Scorpions, and passed along to Tzin [Flat], and ascended up on the south side unto Kadesh [Holy]-Barnea [Holy], and passed along to Hetzron [surrounded by a wall], and went up to Adar, and went on a circular course (go around, encircle; encompass) to Karka [Floor]: 4[From there] it passed toward ‘Atzmon [Strong], and went out unto the river of Mitzrayim [Egypt - The Narrow Place]; and the goings out of that coast were at the sea: this shall be your south coast. 5And the east border [was] the salt sea, [even] unto the end of Yarden [Descender]. And [their] border in the north quarter [was] from the bay of the sea at the uttermost part of Yarden [Descender]: 6And the border went up to Beit-Hoglah [Partidge] [House of the Partidge], and passed along by the north of Beit-’Aravah [House of the Desert Valley/Depression]; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan [Thumb] the son of Re’uven [Behold a Son]: 7And the border went up toward D’vir [Sanctuary] from the Valley of Akhor [Trouble], and so northward, looking toward Gilgal [A Wheel, Rolling], that [is] before the going up to Ma’alei-Adumim [Ruddy (reddish hair or complexion) one: Quieted ones?], which [is] on the south side of the river: and the border passed toward the waters of ‘Ein-Shemesh [Fountain of the Sun], and the goings out thereof were at ‘Ein-Rogel (a place near Jerusalem) [Fount of the Fuller (washer and/or bleacher of clothes)]: 8And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom [Lamentation] unto the south side of the Y’vusi [Threshers]; the same [is] Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]: and the border went up to the top of the mountain that [lies] before the valley of Hinnom [Lamentation] westward, which [is] at the end of the valley of the giants northward: 9And the border was drawn from the top of the hill unto the fountain of the water of Neftoach [Opening], and went out to the cities of mount Ephron; and the border was drawn to Ba’alah [mistress], which [is] Kiryat-Ye’arim [City of Forests]: 10And the border compassed from Ba’alah [mistress]westward unto mount Se’ir [Shaggy], and passed along unto the side of Mount Ye’arim [Forests], which [is] K’salon [Hopes], on the north side, and went down to Beit-Shemesh [House of the Sun], and passed on to Timnah [Portion]: 11And the border went out unto the side of ‘Ekron [Torn Up by the Roots] northward: and the border was drawn to Shikron [Drunkenness], and passed along to mount Ba’alah [mistress], and went out unto Yavne’el [God Causes to Build]; and the goings out of the border were at the sea. 12And the west border [was] to the great sea, and the coast [thereof]. This [is] the coast of the children of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] round about according to their families.

13And unto Kalev [Dog] the son of Y’funeh [He Will Face] he gave a part among the children of Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised], according to the commandment of the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) to Y’hoshua [Yehovah is Salvation], [even] the Kiryat-Arba [City of Arba (fourth)] the father of Anak [Neck], which [city is] Hevron [Seat of Association]. 14And Kalev [Dog] drove there the three sons of Anak [Neck], Sheshai [Noble], and Achiman [My Brother is a Gift], and Talmai [Plowman], the children of Anak [Neck]. 15And he went up there to the inhabitants of D’vir [Sanctuary]: and the name of D’vir [Sanctuary] before [was] Kiryat-Sepher [City of the Book]. 16And Kalev [Dog] said, He that smites Kiryat-Sepher [City of the Book], and takes it, to him will I give ‘Akhsah [Anklet] my daughter to wife. 17And ‘Otni’el [Lion of God] the son of K’naz [Hunter], the brother of Kalev [Dog], took it: and he gave him ‘Akhsah [Anklet] his daughter to wife. 18And 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 Kalev [Dog] said unto her, What would youⁱ? 19Who answered, Give me a blessing; for youⁱ have given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs, and the lower springs.
