Now the allotment for the clans of the tribe vvv of Judah extended to the border of Edom , to the Wilderness of Zin vvv at the extreme southern boundary :
southern border started at the bay ... on the southern tip of the Salt Sea ... ,
proceeded ... south of the Ascent of Akrabbim , continued on to Zin , went over to the south ... of Kadesh-barnea , ran past Hezron up to Addar , and curved toward Karka.
It proceeded to Azmon , ... joined the Brook of Egypt , - and ended ... at the Sea. This was southern border.
The eastern border was the Salt Sea ... as far as the mouth of the Jordan. The northern border (started) from the bay of the sea at the mouth of the Jordan ,
went up - to Beth-hoglah , proceeded north of Beth-arabah , and went up ... to the Stone of Bohan son of Reuben.
Then (the border) went up to Debir from the Valley of Achor , turning north to Gilgal , which faces the Ascent of Adummim - south of the ravine. (It) continued along the waters vvv of En-shemesh and came out ... at vvv En-rogel.
From there the border went up the Valley of Hinnom ... ... along the southern slope of the Jebusites (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.
From the hilltop ... the border curved to the spring of the Waters of Nephtoah , proceeded to the cities of Mount Ephron , and then bent around ... toward Baalah (that is , vvv Kiriath-jearim).
The border curled westward from Baalah to Mount Seir , ran along the northern slope of Mount Jearim (that is , Chesalon ), went down vvv to Beth-shemesh , and crossed to Timnah.
Then (it) went out to the northern slope of Ekron , curved ... toward Shikkeron , proceeded to Mount Baalah , went on to Jabneel , and ended ... ... at the Sea.
And the western border was the coastline of the Great Sea. These are the boundaries around the clans of the descendants of Judah.
According to the LORD’s command to (him) , (Joshua -) gave Caleb son of Jephunneh a portion among the sons of Judah — - vvv Kiriath-arba , that (is) , Hebron. ( Arba was the forefather of Anak.)
And Caleb - drove out from there the three sons of Anak — the descendants of Sheshai , - Ahiman , - and Talmai , the children of Anak.
From there he marched against the inhabitants of Debir - ( formerly known as vvv Kiriath-sepher ).
And Caleb said , “ To the man who strikes down - vvv Kiriath-sepher and captures it , I will give - my daughter Acsah in marriage. ”
So Othniel son of Caleb’s brother Kenaz captured (the city) , and (Caleb) gave - his daughter Acsah in marriage.
One day (Acsah) came (to Othniel) and urged him to ask her father for a field. When she got off ... her donkey , Caleb asked “ What
“ Give a blessing , ” she answered. “ Since you have given me land in the Negev , give me springs of water So (Caleb) gave - (both) the upper - - and lower springs.
