1This 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.Select Joshua 15:1

2And their south border was from the shore of the salt sea, from the bay that looks southward:Select Joshua 15:2

3And it went out to the south side to Maalehacrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and ascended up on the south side to Kadeshbarnea, and passed along to Hezron, and went up to Adar, and fetched a compass to Karkaa:Select Joshua 15:3

7And 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:Select Joshua 15:7

8And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom to the south side of the Jebusite; the same is Jerusalem: and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lies before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the end of the valley of the giants northward:Select Joshua 15:8

11And the border went out to the side of Ekron northward: and the border was drawn to Shicron, and passed along to mount Baalah, and went out to Jabneel; and the goings out of the border were at the sea.Select Joshua 15:11

12And 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. ¶Select Joshua 15:12

13And to 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.Select Joshua 15:13

14And Caleb drove there the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.Select Joshua 15:14

15And he went up there to the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before was Kirjathsepher. ¶Select Joshua 15:15

16And Caleb said, He that smites Kirjathsepher, and takes it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.Select Joshua 15:16

17And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.Select Joshua 15:17

18And it came to pass, as she came to him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she lighted off her ass; and Caleb said to her, What would you?Select Joshua 15:18

19Who answered, Give me a blessing; for you have given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs, and the nether springs.Select Joshua 15:19
