The Book of Joshua

Jos 15:1 This then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah by their families; even to the border of E´-dom the wilderness of Zin southward was the uttermost part of the south coast.

Jos 15:2 And their south border was from the shore of the salt sea, from the bay that looketh southward:

Jos 15:3 And it went out to the south side to Ma-al´-eh–a-crab´-bim, and passed along to Zin, and ascended up on the south side unto Ka´-desh–bar´-ne-a, and passed along to Hez´-ron, and went up to A´-dar, and fetched a compass to Kar´-ka-a:

Jos 15:4 From thence it passed toward Az´-mon, and went out unto the river of Egypt; and the goings out of that coast were at the sea: this shall be your south coast.

Jos 15:5 And the east border was the salt sea, even unto the end of Jordan. And their border in the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the uttermost part of Jordan:

Jos 15:6 And the border went up to Beth– hog´-la, and passed along by the north of Beth–ar´-a-bah; and the border went up to the stone of Bo´-han the son of Reuben:

Jos 15:7 And the border went up toward De´-bir from the valley of A´-chor, and so northward, looking toward Gil´-gal, that is before the going up to A-dum´mim, which is on the south side of the river: and the border passed toward the waters of En–she´-mesh, and the goings out thereof were at En–ro´-gel:

Jos 15:8 And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hin´-nom unto the south side of the Jeb´-u-site; the same is Jerusalem: and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lieth before the valley of Hin´-nom westward, which is at the end of the valley of the giants northward:

Jos 15:9 And the border was drawn from the top of the hill unto the fountain of the water of Neph´-to-ah, and went out to the cities of mount E´-phron; and the border was drawn to Ba´-alah, which is Kir´-jath–je´-a-rim:

Jos 15:10 And the border compassed from Ba´-al-ah westward unto mount Se´ir, and passed along unto the side of mount Je´-a-rim, which is Ches´-a-lon, on the north side, and went down to Beth–she´-mesh, and passed on to Tim´-nah:

Jos 15:11 And the border went out unto the side of Ek´-ron northward: and the border was drawn to Shic´-ron, and passed along to mount Ba´-al-ah, and went out unto Jab´-neel; and the goings out of the border were at the sea.

Jos 15:12 And the west border was to the great sea, and the coast thereof. This is the coast of the children of Judah round about according to their families.

Jos 15:13 And unto Caleb the son of Jephun´-neh he gave a part among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of the Lord to Joshua, even the city of Ar´-ba the father of A´nak, which city is He´-bron.

Jos 15:14 And Caleb drove thence the three sons of A´-nak, She´-shai, and A-hi´-man, and Tal´-mai, the children of A´-nak.

Jos 15:15 And he went up thence to the inhabitants of De´-bir: and the name of De´-bir before was Kir´-jath–se´-pher.

Jos 15:16 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kir´-jath–se´-pher, and taketh it, to him will I give Ach´-sah my daughter to wife.

Jos 15:17 And Oth´-ni-el the son of Ke´naz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Ach´-sah his daughter to wife.

Jos 15:18 And 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 Caleb said unto her, What wouldest thou?

Jos 15:19 Who answered, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs, and the nether springs.

Jos 15:20 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families.
