Joshua 15

1
English · Berean Standard Bible

Now the allotment for the clans of the tribe of Judah extended to the border of Edom, to the Wilderness of Zin at the extreme southern boundary:

2
English · Berean Standard Bible

Their southern border started at the bay on the southern tip of the Salt Sea,

3
English · Berean Standard Bible

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.

4
English · Berean Standard Bible

It proceeded to Azmon, joined the Brook of Egypt, and ended at the Sea. This was their southern border.

5
English · Berean Standard Bible

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,

6
English · Berean Standard Bible

went up to Beth-hoglah, proceeded north of Beth-arabah, and went up to the Stone of Bohan son of Reuben.

7
English · Berean Standard Bible

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 of En-shemesh and came out at En-rogel.

8
English · Berean Standard Bible

From there the border went up the Valley of Ben-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.

9
English · Berean Standard Bible

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, Kiriath-jearim).

10
English · Berean Standard Bible

The border curled westward from Baalah to Mount Seir, ran along the northern slope of Mount Jearim (that is, Chesalon), went down to Beth-shemesh, and crossed to Timnah.

11
English · Berean Standard Bible

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.

12
English · Berean Standard Bible

And the western border was the coastline of the Great Sea. These are the boundaries around the clans of the descendants of Judah.

13
English · Berean Standard Bible

According to the LORD’s command to him, Joshua gave Caleb son of Jephunneh a portion among the sons of Judah—Kiriath-arba, that is, Hebron. (Arba was the forefather of Anak.)

14
English · Berean Standard Bible

And Caleb drove out from there the three sons of Anak—the descendants of Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.

15
English · Berean Standard Bible

From there he marched against the inhabitants of Debir (formerly known as Kiriath-sepher).

16
English · Berean Standard Bible

And Caleb said, “To the man who strikes down Kiriath-sepher and captures it, I will give my daughter Acsah in marriage.”

17
English · Berean Standard Bible

So Othniel son of Caleb’s brother Kenaz captured the city, and Caleb gave his daughter Acsah to him in marriage.

18
English · Berean Standard Bible

One day Acsah came to Othniel and urged him to ask her father for a field. When she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What do you desire?”

19
English · Berean Standard Bible

“Give me a blessing,” she answered. “Since you have given me land in the Negev, give me springs of water as well.” So Caleb gave her both the upper and lower springs.

20
English · Berean Standard Bible

This is the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Judah.
