1So then the boundary of the tribe of the sons of Judah, by their families,reached unto the boundary of Edom, the desert of Zin southward, on the extreme south; 2so their south boundary beginneth at the end of the Salt Sea,from the bay that turneth to the south; 3and goeth forth on the south of the cliffs of Akrabbim, and crosseth over to Zin, and goeth up on the south of Kadesh-barnea,and passeth over by Hezron, and goeth up to Addar, and turneth round to Karka; 4and passeth over to Azmon, and goeth forth at the ravine of Egypt, and so the extensions of the boundary are to the sea. This, shall be your south boundary. 5And, a boundary eastward, is the Salt Sea, as far as the end of the Jordan. And, the boundary on the north side, is from the bay of the sea, from the end of the Jordan. 6And the boundary goeth up Beth-hoglah, and passeth over, on the north, by Beth-arabah,and the boundary goeth up by the Stone of Bohan, son of Reuben; 7and the boundary goeth up towards Debir, out of the vale of Achor, then northward, turning unto Gilgal, which is over against the ascent of Adummim, which is on the south side of the ravine,then the boundary passeth over unto the waters of En-shemesh, and so the extensions thereof are unto En-rogel: 8then ascendeth the boundary by the valley of the son of Hinnom, to the side of the Jebusite, on the south, the same, is Jerusalem,and the boundary goeth up unto the top of the mountain which faceth the valley of Hinnom, to the west, which is at the end of the Vale of Giants, northwards; 9and the boundary turneth round, from the top of the mountain, unto the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah, and goeth out unto the cities of Mount Ephron,then the boundary turneth round to Baalah, the same, is Kiriath-jearim; 10then the boundary goeth round from Baalah westward, unto Mount Seir, and passeth over unto the slope of Mount Yearim, on the north, the same, is Chesalon,and descendeth Bethshemesh, and passeth over Timnah; 11then the boundary goeth forth unto the side of Ekron, northward, then the boundary turneth round towards Shikkeron, and crosseth over Mount Baalah, and goeth out at Jabneel,and the extensions of the boundary are to the sea. 12And, as a west boundary, are the great sea and coast. This, is the boundary of the sons of Judah, round about, by their families. 13And, to Caleb, son of Jephunneh, gave he a portion, in the midst of the sons of Judah, at the bidding of Yahweh, by Joshua,even the City of Arba, father of Anak, the same, is Hebron. 14And Caleb dispossessed from thence, the three sons of Anak,Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the descendants of Anak. 15And he went up from thence, against the inhabitants of Debir,now, the name of Debir, formerly, was Kiriath-sepher. 16Then said Caleb, He that smiteth Kiriath-sepher, and captureth it, I will give unto him Achsah, my daughter, to wife. 17And Othniel son of Kenaz, brother of Caleb, captured it,so he gave unto him Achsah, his daughter, to wife. 18And it came to pass, when she came, that she moved him to ask of her father a field, and, when she alighted from off the ass, Caleb said unto herWhat aileth thee? 19And she saidGive me a present, for, dry land, hast thou given me, therefore must thou give me, pools of water. So he gave her upper pools and lower pools. 20This, is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Judah, by their families. 21And the uttermost cities of the tribe of the sons of Judah, towards the boundary of Edom in the south, were,Kabzeel and Eder, and Jagur, 22and Kinah and Dimonah, and Adadah, 23and Kedesh and Hazor, and Ithnan, 24Ziph and Talem, and Bealoth, 25and Hazor-hadattah and Kerioth-hezron, the same, is Hazor; 26Amam and Shema, and Moladah, 27and Hazar-gaddah and Heshmon, and Beth-pelet. 28and Hazarshual and Beer-sheba, with the hamlets thereof, 29Baalah and Iyyim, and Ezem, 30and Eltolad and Chesil, and Hormah, 31and Ziklag and Madmannah, and Sansannah, 32and Lebaoth and Shilhim, and En-rimmon,all the cities are twenty-nine, with their villages. 33In the lowland,Eshtaol and Zorah, and Ashnah, 34and Zanoah and En-gannim, Tappuah, and Enam; 35Jarmuth, and Adullam, Socoh, and Azekah; 36and Shaaraim, and Adithaim, and Gederah, and Gederothaim,fourteen cities, with their villages. 37Zenan and Hadashah, and Migdal-gad, 38and Dilan and Mizpeh, and Joktheel, 39Lachish and Bozkath, and Eglon, 40and Cabbon and Lahmas, and Chithlish, 41and Gederoth, Beth-dagon and Naamah, and Makkedah,sixteen cities, with their villages. 42Libnah and Ether, and Ashan, 43and Iphtah and Ashnah, and Nezib, 44and Keilah and Achzib, and Mareshah,nine cities, with their villages. 45Ekron with her towns, and her villages. 46From Ekron, even unto the sea,all that were by the side of Ashdod with their villages. 47Ashdod, her towns and her villages.
