Joshua 15
- 1This 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 farthest part of the south border.
- 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 Maalehacrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and ascended up on the south side to Kadeshbarnea, and passed along to Hezron, and went up to Adar, and went around to Karkaa:
- 4From there it passed toward Azmon, and went out to the river of Egypt. The border ended at the sea: this shall be your south border.
- 5And the east border was the salt sea, even to the end of Jordan. And their border in the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the farthest part of Jordan:
- 6And the border went up to Bethhogla, and passed along by the north of Betharabah. The border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben:
- 7And 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 it ended at Enrogel:
- 8And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom to the south side of the Jebusite. The same is Jerusalem: and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lies before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the end of the valley of the giants northward:
- 9And the border was drawn from the top of the hill to the fountain of the water of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of mount Ephron. The border was drawn to Baalah, which is Kirjathjearim:

- 11And the border went out to the side of Ekron northward: and the border was drawn to Shicron, and passed along to mount Baalah, and went out to Jabneel. The border ended at the sea.
- 12And the west border was to the great sea, and its border. This is the border of the children of Judah around according to their families.
- 13And to Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a part among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of the Lord to Joshua, even the city of Arba the father of Anak, which city is Hebron.
- 14And Caleb drove from there the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.
- 15And he went up from there to the people of Debir: and the name of Debir before was Kirjathsepher.
- 16And Caleb said, He who strikes Kirjathsepher, and takes it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.
- 17And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.
- 18As she came to him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she lighted off her donkey. Caleb said to her, What would you?
- 19Who answered, Give me a blessing. For you have given me a south land. Give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs, and the lower springs.
