1 The|strong="H0413" land|strong="H4940" that|strong="H1961" was|strong="H1961" given to|strong="H0413" Judah|strong="H3063" was|strong="H1961" divided among|strong="H0413" the|strong="H0413" families|strong="H4940" of|strong="H1121" that|strong="H1961" tribe|strong="H4294". That|strong="H1961" land|strong="H4940" went|strong="H0413" to|strong="H0413" the|strong="H0413" border|strong="H1366" of|strong="H1121" Edom|strong="H0123" and|strong="H1121" south|strong="H5045" all the|strong="H0413" way to|strong="H0413" the|strong="H0413" desert|strong="H4057" of|strong="H1121" Zin|strong="H6790" at|strong="H0413" the|strong="H0413" edge of|strong="H1121" Teman.
2 The|strong="H4480" southern|strong="H5045" border|strong="H1366" of|strong="H1366" Judah’s land|strong="H1366" started|strong="H1961" at|strong="H1961" the|strong="H4480" south|strong="H5045" end|strong="H7097" of|strong="H1366" the|strong="H4480" Dead Sea|strong="H3220".
3 The|strong="H0413" border went|strong="H3318" south|strong="H5045" to|strong="H0413" Scorpion Pass|strong="H5674" and|strong="H3318" continued on|strong="H0413" to|strong="H0413" Zin|strong="H6790". Then|strong="H3318" the|strong="H0413" border continued south|strong="H5045" to|strong="H0413" Kadesh Barnea. It|strong="H5437" continued past Hezron|strong="H2696" to|strong="H0413" Addar|strong="H0146". From|strong="H3318" Addar|strong="H0146" the|strong="H0413" border turned|strong="H5437" and|strong="H3318" continued to|strong="H0413" Karka|strong="H7173".
4 The|strong="H1961" border|strong="H1366" continued|strong="H1961" to|strong="H1961" Azmon|strong="H6111", the|strong="H1961" brook|strong="H5158" of|strong="H1366" Egypt|strong="H4714", and|strong="H4714" then|strong="H1961" to|strong="H1961" the|strong="H1961" Mediterranean Sea|strong="H3220". All that|strong="H2088" land|strong="H1366" was|strong="H1961" on|strong="H1961" their|strong="H1961" southern|strong="H5045" border|strong="H1366".
5 Their|strong="H5704" eastern border|strong="H1366" was|strong="H1366" the|strong="H5704" shore of|strong="H1366" the|strong="H5704" Dead Sea|strong="H3220" to|strong="H5704" the|strong="H5704" area|strong="H1366" where the|strong="H5704" Jordan|strong="H3383" River|strong="H5704" flowed into|strong="H3220" the|strong="H5704" sea|strong="H3220".
6 Then|strong="H5674" the|strong="H5927" northern|strong="H6828" border|strong="H1366" went|strong="H5927" to|strong="H1121" Beth Hoglah and|strong="H1121" continued north|strong="H6828" of|strong="H1121" Beth Arabah. The|strong="H5927" border|strong="H1366" continued to|strong="H1121" the|strong="H5927" stone|strong="H0068" of|strong="H1121" Bohan|strong="H0932". (Bohan|strong="H0932" was|strong="H1121" the|strong="H5927" son|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Reuben|strong="H7205".)
7 Then|strong="H1961" the|strong="H0834" northern|strong="H6828" border|strong="H1366" went|strong="H5927" through|strong="H5674" the|strong="H0834" Valley|strong="H6010" of|strong="H1366" Achor|strong="H5911" to|strong="H0413" Debir|strong="H1688". There|strong="H1961" the|strong="H0834" border|strong="H1366" turned|strong="H6437" to|strong="H0413" the|strong="H0834" north|strong="H6828" and|strong="H4325" went|strong="H5927" to|strong="H0413" Gilgal|strong="H1537". Gilgal|strong="H1537" is|strong="H0834" across|strong="H5674" from|strong="H0413" the|strong="H0834" road that|strong="H0834" goes|strong="H5927" through|strong="H5674" the|strong="H0834" mountain of|strong="H1366" Adummim|strong="H0131". It|strong="H1961" is|strong="H0834" on|strong="H0413" the|strong="H0834" south|strong="H5045" side|strong="H6828" of|strong="H1366" the|strong="H0834" brook|strong="H5158". The|strong="H0834" border|strong="H1366" continued|strong="H1961" along|strong="H0413" the|strong="H0834" waters|strong="H4325" of|strong="H1366" En Shemesh. The|strong="H0834" border|strong="H1366" stopped at|strong="H0413" En Rogel.
8 Then|strong="H5927" the|strong="H6440" border|strong="H1366" went|strong="H5927" through|strong="H5921" the|strong="H6440" Valley|strong="H6010" of|strong="H1121" Ben Hinnom|strong="H2011" beside|strong="H5921" the|strong="H6440" southern|strong="H5045" side|strong="H3802" of|strong="H1121" the|strong="H6440" Jebusite|strong="H2983" city|strong="H1931" (that|strong="H0834" is|strong="H0834", Jerusalem|strong="H3389"). There|strong="H5927" the|strong="H6440" border|strong="H1366" went|strong="H5927" to|strong="H0413" the|strong="H6440" top|strong="H7218" of|strong="H1121" the|strong="H6440" hill|strong="H2022" on|strong="H5921" the|strong="H6440" west|strong="H3220" side|strong="H3802" of|strong="H1121" Hinnom|strong="H2011" Valley|strong="H6010". This|strong="H1931" was|strong="H0834" at|strong="H0413" the|strong="H6440" northern|strong="H6828" end|strong="H7097" of|strong="H1121" Rephaim|strong="H7497" Valley|strong="H6010".
9 From|strong="H3318" there|strong="H2022" the|strong="H0413" border|strong="H1366" went|strong="H3318" to|strong="H0413" the|strong="H0413" spring|strong="H4599" of|strong="H2022" water|strong="H4325" of|strong="H2022" Nephtoah|strong="H5318". Then|strong="H3318" the|strong="H0413" border|strong="H1366" went|strong="H3318" to|strong="H0413" the|strong="H0413" cities|strong="H5892" near Mount|strong="H2022" Ephron|strong="H6085". There|strong="H2022" the|strong="H0413" border|strong="H1366" turned|strong="H0413" and|strong="H7218" went|strong="H3318" to|strong="H0413" Baalah|strong="H1173". (Baalah|strong="H1173" is|strong="H1931" also called Kiriath|strong="H7157" Jearim.)
10 At|strong="H0413" Baalah|strong="H1173" the|strong="H0413" border|strong="H1366" turned|strong="H5437" west|strong="H3220" and|strong="H2022" went|strong="H3381" to|strong="H0413" the|strong="H0413" hill|strong="H2022" country|strong="H2022" of|strong="H2022" Seir|strong="H8165". The|strong="H0413" border|strong="H1366" continued along|strong="H0413" the|strong="H0413" north|strong="H6828" side|strong="H3802" of|strong="H2022" Mount|strong="H2022" Jearim|strong="H3297" (Kesalon|strong="H3693") and|strong="H2022" continued down|strong="H3381" to|strong="H0413" Beth Shemesh. From|strong="H3381" there|strong="H2022" the|strong="H0413" border|strong="H1366" went|strong="H3381" past Timnah|strong="H8553".
11 Then|strong="H1961" the|strong="H0413" border|strong="H1366" went|strong="H3318" to|strong="H0413" the|strong="H0413" hill|strong="H2022" north|strong="H6828" of|strong="H2022" Ekron|strong="H6138". From|strong="H3318" there|strong="H1961" the|strong="H0413" border|strong="H1366" turned|strong="H1961" to|strong="H0413" Shikkeron|strong="H7942" and|strong="H2022" went|strong="H3318" past Mount|strong="H2022" Baalah|strong="H1173". The|strong="H0413" border|strong="H1366" continued|strong="H1961" on|strong="H0413" to|strong="H0413" Jabneel|strong="H2995" and|strong="H2022" ended at|strong="H0413" the|strong="H0413" Mediterranean Sea|strong="H3220".
12 The|strong="H5439" Mediterranean Sea|strong="H3220" was|strong="H3063" the|strong="H5439" western|strong="H3220" border|strong="H1366". So|strong="H2088" the|strong="H5439" land|strong="H4940" of|strong="H1121" Judah|strong="H3063" was|strong="H3063" inside these|strong="H2088" four borders|strong="H1366". The|strong="H5439" families|strong="H4940" of|strong="H1121" Judah|strong="H3063" lived in|strong="H1121" this|strong="H2088" area|strong="H1366".
13 The|strong="H0853" LORD|strong="H3068" had|strong="H3068" commanded|strong="H6310" Joshua|strong="H3091" to|strong="H0413" give|strong="H5414" Caleb|strong="H3612" son|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Jephunneh|strong="H3312" part|strong="H8432" of|strong="H1121" the|strong="H0853" land|strong="H2506" in|strong="H0413" Judah|strong="H3063". So|strong="H5414" Joshua|strong="H3091" gave|strong="H5414" Caleb|strong="H3612" the|strong="H0853" land|strong="H2506" God|strong="H3068" had|strong="H3068" commanded|strong="H6310". Joshua|strong="H3091" gave|strong="H5414" him|strong="H0413" the|strong="H0853" town of|strong="H1121" Kiriath Arba, that|strong="H1931" is|strong="H3068", Hebron|strong="H2275". (Arba was|strong="H3068" the|strong="H0853" father|strong="H0001" of|strong="H1121" Anak|strong="H6061".)
14 Caleb|strong="H3612" forced the|strong="H0853" three|strong="H7969" Anakite families|strong="H1121" living in|strong="H1121" Hebron to|strong="H8033" leave|strong="H3423" there|strong="H8033". Those|strong="H1121" families|strong="H1121" were|strong="H1121" Sheshai|strong="H8344", Ahiman|strong="H0289", and|strong="H1121" Talmai|strong="H8526". They|strong="H8033" were|strong="H1121" from|strong="H1121" the|strong="H0853" family of|strong="H1121" Anak|strong="H6061".
15 Then|strong="H5927" Caleb fought against|strong="H0413" the|strong="H6440" people|strong="H3427" living|strong="H3427" in|strong="H3427" Debir|strong="H1688". (In|strong="H3427" the|strong="H6440" past, Debir|strong="H1688" was|strong="H8034" also called|strong="H8034" Kiriath Sepher.)
16 Caleb|strong="H3612" said|strong="H0559", “I|strong="H0834" will|strong="H0834" give|strong="H5414" my|strong="H5414" daughter|strong="H1323" in|strong="H0802" marriage|strong="H0802" to|strong="H0559" the|strong="H0853" man who|strong="H0834" attacks|strong="H5221" and|strong="H0802" conquers Kiriath Sepher.”
17 Othniel|strong="H6274" was|strong="H0802" the|strong="H0853" son|strong="H1121" of|strong="H1121" Caleb’s|strong="H3612" brother|strong="H0251" Kenaz|strong="H7073". Othniel|strong="H6274" defeated that|strong="H1121" city, so|strong="H5414" Caleb|strong="H3612" gave|strong="H5414" his|strong="H5414" daughter|strong="H1323" Acsah|strong="H5915" to|strong="H5414" Othniel|strong="H6274" to|strong="H5414" be|strong="H1121" his|strong="H5414" wife|strong="H0802".
18 Acsah went|strong="H0935" to|strong="H0559" live with|strong="H5921" Othniel. Othniel told|strong="H0559" Acsah to|strong="H0559" ask|strong="H7592" her|strong="H5921" father|strong="H0001" Caleb|strong="H3612" for|strong="H5921" some more|strong="H5921" land|strong="H7704". Acsah went|strong="H0935" to|strong="H0559" her|strong="H5921" father|strong="H0001". When|strong="H1961" she|strong="H4100" got off|strong="H5921" her|strong="H5921" donkey|strong="H2543", Caleb|strong="H3612" asked|strong="H7592" her|strong="H5921", “What|strong="H4100" do|strong="H4100" you|strong="H5921" want?”
19 Acsah answered|strong="H0559", “Give|strong="H5414" me|strong="H5414" a|strong="H3588" blessing|strong="H1293". You|strong="H3588" gave|strong="H5414" me|strong="H5414" dry desert land|strong="H0776" in|strong="H0776" the|strong="H0853" Negev|strong="H5045". Please give|strong="H5414" me|strong="H5414" some land|strong="H0776" with|strong="H0776" water|strong="H4325" on|strong="H0776" it|strong="H5414".” So|strong="H5414" Caleb gave|strong="H5414" her|strong="H5414" what|strong="H3588" she|strong="H3588" wanted. He|strong="H3588" gave|strong="H5414" her|strong="H5414" the|strong="H0853" upper|strong="H5942" and|strong="H0776" lower|strong="H8482" pools of|strong="H0776" water|strong="H4325" in|strong="H0776" that|strong="H3588" land|strong="H0776".
20 The|strong="H1121" tribe|strong="H4294" of|strong="H1121" Judah|strong="H3063" got the|strong="H1121" land|strong="H5159" that|strong="H4940" God promised them|strong="H1121". Each family|strong="H4940" group got part of|strong="H1121" the|strong="H1121" land|strong="H5159".
21 The|strong="H0413" tribe|strong="H4294" of|strong="H1121" Judah|strong="H3063" got all the|strong="H0413" towns|strong="H5892" in|strong="H0413" the|strong="H0413" southern|strong="H5045" part of|strong="H1121" the|strong="H0413" Negev|strong="H5045". These towns|strong="H5892" were|strong="H1961" near the|strong="H0413" border|strong="H1366" of|strong="H1121" Edom|strong="H0123".
