Judah’s Inheritance

1And the lot shall be to the tribe of the sons of Judah according to their families, to the bound of Edom, the desert of Zin south from the south extremity. 2And the south bound shall be to them from the extremity of the salt sea from the tongue turning south. 3And it went out to the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and it passed over Zin and went up from the south to Kadesh-Barnea, and passed by Hezron and went up to Adar and encompassed Karkaa. 4And it passed through Azmon, and it went out to the torrent of Egypt; and the going forth of the bound was to the sea: this shall be to you the south bound. 5And the east bound, the salt sea, unto the end of Jordan: and the bound to the north side, from the tongue of the sea from the extremity of Jordan: 6And the bound went up to the house of Hoglah, and passed over from the north of the house of Arabah; and the bound went up to the stone of Bohan, son of Reuben: 7And the bound went up to Debir from the valley of Achor, and north turned to Gilgal which is before the going up of Adummim, which is from the south of the torrent: and the bound passed over to the water of the fountain of the Sun, and its going forth to the fountain of Rogel. 8And the bound went up to the valley of the son of Hinnom to the shoulder of the Jebusite from the south; this is Jerusalem: and the bound went up to the head of the mountain which is upon the face of the valley of Hinnom to the sea, which is in the end of the valley of Rephaim to the north: 9And the bound extended from the head of the mountain to the fountain of water of Nephtoah, and it went out to the city of mount Ephron; and the bound extended to Baalah; this is Kirjath-Jearim: 10And the bound encompassed from Baalah to the sea to mount Seir, and passed over to the shoulder of Jearim from the north (this is Chesalon) and it went down to the House of the Sun, and passed over to Timnah: 11And the bound went forth to the shoulder of Ekron north: and the bound extended to Shicron, and passed over to mount Baalah and went forth to Jabneel; and the goings out of the bound were to the sea. 12And the bound of the sea, the great sea: and this bound the bound of the sons of Judah round about according to their families.

Caleb’s Portion and Conquest
(Judges 1:8–26)

13And to Caleb son of Jephunneh he gave a portion in the midst of the sons of Judah, according to the mouth of Jehovah to Joshua, the city of Arba the father of Anak, this is Hebron. 14And Caleb drove from thence the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman and Talmai, children of Anak. 15And he will go up from thence to the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before, the City of the Book. 16And Caleb will say, Who will smite the City of the Book and take it, and I gave to him Achsah my daughter for a wife. 17And Othniel, son of Kenaz will take it, the brother of Caleb, and he will give to him Achsah his daughter for a wife. 18And it will be in her going forth she will stimulate him to ask from her father a field: and she will descend from the ass, and Caleb will say to her, What to thee? 19And she will say, Thou wilt give to me a blessing; for a south land thou gavest me, and give to me springs of water: and he will give to her the springs above and the springs beneath.
