Joshua 15 : 1 (HCSB)

Now the allotment for the tribe of the descendants of Judah by their clans was in the southernmost region, south of the wilderness of Zin to the border of Edom.

Joshua 15 : 2 (HCSB)

Their southern border began at the tip of the Dead Sea on the south bay

Joshua 15 : 3 (HCSB)

and went south of the ascent of Akrabbim, proceeded to Zin, ascended to the south of Kadesh-barnea, passed Hezron, ascended to Addar, and turned to Karka.

Joshua 15 : 4 (HCSB)

It proceeded to Azmon and to the Brook of Egypt and so the border ended at the Mediterranean Sea. This is your southern border.

Joshua 15 : 5 (HCSB)

Now the eastern border was along the Dead Sea to the mouth of the Jordan. The border on the north side was from the bay of the sea at the mouth of the Jordan.

Joshua 15 : 6 (HCSB)

It ascended to Beth-hoglah, proceeded north of Beth-arabah, and ascended to the stone of Bohan son of Reuben.

Joshua 15 : 7 (HCSB)

Then the border ascended to Debir from the Valley of Achor, turning north to the Gilgal that is opposite the ascent of Adummim, which is south of the ravine. The border proceeded to the waters of En-shemesh and ended at En-rogel.

Joshua 15 : 8 (HCSB)

From there the border ascended the Valley of Hinnom to the southern Jebusite slope (that is, Jerusalem) and ascended to the top of the hill that faces the Valley of Hinnom on the west, at the northern end of the Valley of Rephaim.

Joshua 15 : 9 (HCSB)

From the top of the hill the border curved to the spring of the Waters of Nephtoah, went to the cities of Mount Ephron, and then curved to Baalah (that is, Kiriath-jearim).

Joshua 15 : 10 (HCSB)

The border turned westward from Baalah to Mount Seir, went to the northern slope of Mount Jearim (that is, Chesalon), descended to Beth-shemesh, and proceeded to Timnah.

Joshua 15 : 11 (HCSB)

Then the border reached to the slope north of Ekron, curved to Shikkeron, proceeded to Mount Baalah, went to Jabneel, and ended at the Mediterranean Sea.

Joshua 15 : 12 (HCSB)

Now the western border was the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea. This was the boundary of the descendants of Judah around their clans.

Joshua 15 : 13 (HCSB)

He gave Caleb son of Jephunneh *the following portion among the descendants of Judah based on the LORD's instruction to Joshua: Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron; Arba was the father of Anak).

Joshua 15 : 14 (HCSB)

Caleb drove out from there the three sons of Anak: Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, descendants of Anak.

Joshua 15 : 15 (HCSB)

From there he marched against the inhabitants of Debir whose name used to be Kiriath-sepher,

Joshua 15 : 16 (HCSB)

and Caleb said, "I will give my daughter Achsah as a wife to the one who strikes down and captures Kiriath-sepher."

Joshua 15 : 17 (HCSB)

So Othniel son of Caleb's brother, Kenaz, captured it, and Caleb gave his daughter Achsah to him as a wife.

Joshua 15 : 18 (HCSB)

When she arrived, she persuaded Othniel to ask her father for a field. As she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, "What do you want?"

Joshua 15 : 19 (HCSB)

She replied, "Give me a blessing. Since you have given me land in the Negev, give me the springs of water also." So he gave her the upper and lower springs.
