1 This 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
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 Maalehacrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and ascended up on the south
side unto Kadeshbarnea, and passed along to Hezron, and went up to Adar,
and fetched a compass to Karkaa:
4 From thence it passed
toward Azmon, 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.
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
Bethhogla, and passed along by the north of Betharabah; and the border
went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben:
7 And 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 the goings out thereof were at Enrogel:
8 And the border went up by the
valley of the son of Hinnom unto the south side of the Jebusite; 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 of 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 Baalah, which is
Kirjathjearim:
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
Bethshemesh, and passed on to Timnah:
11 And the border went out unto the
side of Ekron 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 to
the great sea, and the coast thereof. This is the coast of
the children of Judah round about according to their families.
13 And unto 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 the three
sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.
15 And he went up thence to the
inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before was
Kirjathsepher.
16 And Caleb said, He that smiteth
Kirjathsepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to
wife.
17 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the
brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.
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?
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.
20 This is the inheritance of
the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families.

tribe of the children of Judah toward the coast of Edom southward were

day.
