¹And the lot of the tribe of the sons of Judah, according to their families, was to the border of Edom – the Desert of Zin to the south, at the southern end. ²And their border to the south was from the end of the Dead Sea, from the inlet which faces south. ³And it went out from the south to the ascent of Akrabbim, and it crossed over towards Zin, and it went up from the south to Kadesh-Barnea, and it crossed Hezron and went up to Addar, and it went round to Karkaa. ⁴And it crossed to Azmon and went out to the Brook of Egypt, and the border at the sea was its extreme end. This will be your southern border. ⁵And the border to the east was the Dead Sea, up to the end of the Jordan, and the border in the northern corner is from the sea inlet at the end of the Jordan. ⁶And the border went up to Beth-Hoglah, and it crossed over in the north to Beth-Arabah, and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben. ⁷And the border went up to Debir from the Valley of Achor, and northwards, turning towards Gilgal, which is opposite the ascent of Adummim, which is to the south of the brook, and the border crossed to the water of En-Shemesh, and its extremities were at En-Rogel. ⁸And the border went up the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, to the slope of the Jebusite to the south, that is Jerusalem. And the border went up to the summit of the mountain which faces the Valley of Hinnom on the west, which is at the northern end of the Valley of the Rephaim. ⁹And the border was drawn from the summit of the mountain to the source of the water of Nephtoah, and it went out to the cities of Mount Ephron, and the border was drawn to Baalah, that is Kiriath-Jearim. ¹⁰Then the border went round from Baalah westwards to Mount Seir, and it crossed to the side of Mount Jearim on the north, that is Chesalon, and it went down to Beth-Shemesh, and it crossed over to Timnah. ¹¹And the border went out to the side of Ekron towards the north, then the border was drawn to Shicron, and it crossed over to Mount Baalah, and it went out to Jabneel, and the extremities of the border were at the sea. ¹²And the border to the west went to the Great Sea – as a natural border. This is the border of the sons of Judah round about, according to their families. ¹³And to Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a share in the midst of the sons of Judah according to the pronouncement of the Lord to Joshua: Kiriath-Arba (Arba being the father of Anak), that is Hebron. ¹⁴And Caleb dispossessed the three sons of Anak of that place: Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai – the offspring of Anak. ¹⁵Then he went up from there to the inhabitants of Debir. Now the name of Debir was previously Kiriath-Sepher. ¹⁶And Caleb said, “Whoever attacks Kiriath-Sepher and captures it, to him I will give Achsah my daughter as a wife.” ¹⁷Then Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb's brother, captured it, and he gave him Achsah his daughter as a wife. ¹⁸And it came to pass when she came to him that she persuaded him to ask for a field from her father. So she dismounted from her donkey, and Caleb said to her, “What is the matter?” ¹⁹And she said, “Give me a blessing, for you have given me the land of the south, so give me springs of water.” Then he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs. ²⁰This was the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Judah, according to their families. ²¹And the cities from the boundary of the tribe of the sons of Judah to the border 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 Telem and Bealoth, ²⁵and Hazor-Hadattah and Kerioth and Hezron which is Hazor, ²⁶Amam and Shema and Moladah, ²⁷and Hazar-Gaddah and Heshmon and Beth-Pelet, ²⁸and Hazar-Shual and Beersheba and Bizjothjah, ²⁹Baalah and Iim and Ezem, ³⁰and Eltolad and Chesil and Hormah, ³¹and Ziklag and Madmannah and Sansannah, ³²and Lebaoth and Shilhim and Ain and Rimmon – all the cities came to twenty-nine in number, with their villages. ³³In the lowland: Eshtaol and Zorah and Ashnah, ³⁴and Zanoah and En-Gannim, Tappuah and Enam, ³⁵Jarmuth and Adullam, Sochoh 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 Kithlish, ⁴¹and Gederoth, Beth-Dagon and Naamah and Makkedah – sixteen cities with their villages; ⁴²Libnah and Ether and Ashan, ⁴³and Jephthah and Ashnah and Nezib, ⁴⁴and Keilah and Achzib and Mareshah – nine cities with their villages; ⁴⁵Ekron with its satellites and its villages; ⁴⁶from Ekron westwards: all that were next to Ashdod with their villages, ⁴⁷Ashdod, its satellites, and its villages, Gaza, its satellites and its villages, as far as the Brook of Egypt and the sea – the border – as a natural border; ⁴⁸and in the mountain area: Shamir and Jattir and Sochoh, ⁴⁹and Dannah and Kiriath-Sannah, which is Debir, ⁵⁰and Anab and Eshtemoh and Anim, ⁵¹and Goshen and Holon and Giloh – eleven cities with their villages; ⁵²Arab and Rumah and Eshan, ⁵³Janim and Beth-Tappuah and Aphekah, ⁵⁴and Humtah and Kiriath-Arba, which is Hebron, and Zior – nine cities with their villages; ⁵⁵Maon, Carmel and Ziph and Juttah, ⁵⁶and Jezreel and Jokdeam and Zanoah, ⁵⁷Cain, Gibeah and Timnah – ten cities with their villages; ⁵⁸Halhul, Beth-Zur and Gedor, ⁵⁹and Maarath and Beth-Anoth and Eltekon – six cities with their villages; ⁶⁰Kiriath-Baal which is Kiriath-Jearim and Rabbah – two cities with their villages; ⁶¹in the desert: Beth-Arabah, Middin and Sechachah, ⁶²and Nibshan and the City of Salt and En-Gedi – six cities with their villages. ⁶³But as for the Jebusites – the inhabitants of Jerusalem – the sons of Judah are not able to dispossess them, and the Jebusites have been dwelling with the sons of Judah in Jerusalem up to this day.
