Joshua 15

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. ‡ Num 26:55-56Ezk 47:19Jos 14:2Num 33:36-37Num 34:3-5 2 And their south border was from the shore of the salt sea, from the bay that looketh southward: ¹ ‡ Ezk 47:8Gen 14:3Isa 11:15Ezk 47:18Jos 3:16Num 34:3 3 And it went out to the south side to Maaleh-acrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and ascended up on the south side unto Kadesh-barnea, and passed along to Hezron, and went up to Adar, and fetched a compass to Karkaa: ² ‡ Num 34:4Jdg 1:36Gen 14:7Num 20:1Num 32:8 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. ‡ Num 34:5Jos 13:3Exo 23:31Gen 15:18 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: ‡ Num 34:12Jos 18:15-19Num 34:10 6 And the border went up to Beth-hogla, and passed along by the north of Beth-arabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben: ‡ Jos 18:17Jos 18:19-21 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 En-shemesh, and the goings out thereof were at En-rogel: ‡ 1Ki 1:92Sa 17:17Jos 7:26Hos 2:5Isa 65:10Jos 10:38-39Jos 10:43Jos 15:15 +38 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: ‡ Jos 18:16Jos 15:63Jdg 19:10Jos 18:282Ki 23:10Jdg 1:212Ch 28:32Sa 5:18 +79 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 Kirjath-jearim: ‡ 1Ch 13:6Jos 18:15Jdg 18:122Sa 6:2Jos 9:17 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 Beth-shemesh, and passed on to Timnah: ‡ Jdg 14:11Sa 6:12-21Gen 38:12-13Jdg 14:5Jos 15:57 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. ‡ 1Sa 5:101Sa 7:142Ki 1:162Ki 1:2-32Ki 1:6Jos 15:45Jos 19:43-44 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. ‡ Ezk 47:20Jos 15:47Num 34:6-7Deu 11:24

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. ³ ‡ Deu 1:34-36Jos 14:6-15Num 13:30Num 14:23-24 14 And Caleb drove thence the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak. ‡ Jdg 1:10Jdg 1:20Jos 11:21Num 13:22-23Jos 10:36-37Num 13:33 15 And he went up thence to the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before was Kirjath-sepher. ‡ Jos 10:38Jdg 1:11-13Jos 10:3

16 ¶ And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife. ‡ Jdg 1:12-13Jdg 1:6 17 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife. ‡ Jdg 1:13Jdg 3:9Jdg 3:11Jos 14:61Ch 2:49Num 32:12 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? ‡ 1Sa 25:23Gen 24:64 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. ‡ Jdg 1:14-152Co 9:51Sa 25:27Deu 33:7Gen 33:11
