Joshua 15 

This then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah by their families; ^aeven to the border of Edom the ^bwilderness of Zin southward was the uttermost part of the south coast. ² And their south border was from the shore of the salt sea, from the bay that looketh southward: ³ And it went out to the south side to Maaleh-acrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and ascended up on the south side unto Kadesh-barnea, and passed along to Hezron, and went up to Adar, and fetched a compass to Karkaa: ⁴ From thence it passed ^ctoward Azmon, and went out unto ^dthe river of Egypt; and the goings out of that coast were at the sea: this shall be your south coast.

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: ⁶ And the border went up to Beth-hogla, and passed along by the north of Beth-arabah; and the border went up ^eto the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben: ⁷ And the border went up toward Debir from ^fthe 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 En-shemesh, and the goings out thereof were at En-rogel: ⁸ And the border went up ⁱby the valley of the son of Hinnom unto the south side of the ^hJebusite; the same is Jerusalem: and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lieth before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the end ^gof the valley of the giants northward: ⁹ And the border was drawn from the top of the hill unto the fountain of the water of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of mount Ephron; and the border was drawn to ^kBaalah, which is ^jKirjath-jearim: ¹⁰ And the border compassed from Baalah westward unto mount Seir, and passed along unto the side of mount Jearim, which is Chesalon, on the north side, and went down to Beth-shemesh, and passed on to ^lTimnah: ¹¹ And the border went out unto the side of ^mEkron northward: and the border was drawn to Shicron, and passed along to mount Baalah, and went out unto Jabneel; and the goings out of the border were at the sea. ¹² And the west border was ⁿto the great sea, and the coast thereof. This is the coast of the children of Judah round about according to their families.

¹³ And ^ounto 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. ¹⁴ And Caleb drove thence ^pthe three sons of Anak, ^qSheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak. ¹⁵ And ^rhe went up thence to the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before was Kirjath-sepher.

¹⁶ And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife. ¹⁷ And ^sOthniel the ^tson of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife. ¹⁸ And ^uit came to pass, as she came unto him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and ^vshe lighted off her ass; and Caleb said unto her, What wouldest thou? ¹⁹ Who answered, Give me ^wa 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.
