| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Joshua said, "Now the allotment for the tribe of the descendants of Judah, allocated according to their families, will extend to the border of Edom, southward to the wilderness of Zin until land's end, |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2then from the southern end of the Dead Sea, that is, from the bay that orients toward the Negev, |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3proceeding south to the ascent of Akrabbim, then continuing to Zin, and from there up along the south of Kadesh-barnea to Hezron, and from there up to Addar and then to Karka, |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4passing along to Azmon toward the Wadi of Egypt and ending at the sea. This will be your southern border." |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5The eastern border was the Dead Sea as far as the mouth of the Jordan River. The border of the north side extended from the bay of the sea at the mouth of the Jordan River |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6toward Beth-hoglah, and continuing on the north of Beth-arabah. The border ascended up to the boundary marker set up by Reuben's son Bohan. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7The boundary then went up to Debir from the Achor valley and turned north toward Gilgal opposite the ascent of Adummim in the southern part of the valley. Then the border continued to the waters of En-shemesh and terminated at En-rogel. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Then the border proceeded up the valley of Ben-hinnom to the southern ascent of the Jebusites (that is, to Jerusalem), and from there to the top of the mountain that faces the valley of Hinnom to the west at the end of the valley of Rephaim toward the north. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9The border proceeded from the top of the mountain to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah, then to the cities of Mount Ephron, and then the border curved toward Baalah (also known as Kiriath-jearim). |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10The border turned west from Baalah to Mount Seir, continuing to the top of Mount Jearim on the north (also known as Chesalon), and then proceeded to Beth-shemesh, continuing through Timnah. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11The border proceeded north to the edge of Ekron, then curved to Shikkeron and on to Mount Baalah, proceeding then to Jabneel, where the boundary ended at the sea. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12The western border was at the Mediterranean Sea coastline. This is the border that surrounded the territory of the descendants of Judah, according to their families. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Now Joshua gave an allotment among the descendants of Judah to Jephunneh's son Caleb, just as God told Joshua, Kiriath-arba, which was named after the ancestor of Anak (that is, Hebron). |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14From there Caleb drove the three descendants of Anak, Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai—the Anakim. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Then he went up from there to attack the inhabitants of Debir. (Debir was formerly known as Kiriath-sepher.) |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Then Caleb announced, "I will give my daughter Achsah in marriage to the one who attacks Kiriath-sepher and captures it." |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17Othniel, the son of Caleb's brother Kenaz, captured it, so Caleb gave him his daughter Achsah as his wife. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Sometime later, she came to Othniel and persuaded him to ask her father for a field. As she dismounted from her donkey, Caleb asked her, "What do you want?" |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19She replied, "Give me a blessing. Since you have given me the land of the Negev, give me also some springs of water." So he gave her the upper and lower springs. |
