15:1 The
allotment
for
the
tribe
of
the
people
of
Judah
according
to
their
clans
reached
southward
to
the
boundary
of
Edom,
to
the
wilderness
of
Zin
at
the
farthest
south.
15:2 And
their
south
boundary
ran
from
the
end
of
the
Salt
Sea,
from
the
bay
that
faces
southward.
15:3 It
goes
out
southward
of
the
ascent
of

passes
along
to

and
goes
up

up

turns

15:4 passes
along
to

goes

and
comes

This
shall
be
your
south
boundary.
15:5 And
the
east
boundary
is
the
Salt
Sea,
to
the
mouth
of
the
Jordan.
And
the
boundary
on
the
north
side
runs
from
the
bay
of
the
sea
at
the
mouth
of
the
Jordan.
15:6 And
the
boundary
goes
up
to
Beth-hoglah
and
passes
along
north
of
Beth-arabah.
And
the
boundary
goes
up
to
the
stone
of
Bohan
the
son
of
Reuben.
15:7 And
the
boundary
goes
up
to
Debir
from
the
Valley
of
Achor,
and
so
northward,
turning
toward
Gilgal,
which
is
opposite
the
ascent
of
Adummim,
which
is
on
the
south
side
of
the
valley.
And
the
boundary
passes
along
to
the
waters
of
En-shemesh
and
ends
at
En-rogel.
15:8 Then
the
boundary
goes
up
by
the
Valley
of
the
Son
of
Hinnom
at
the
southern
shoulder
of
the
Jebusite
(that
is,
Jerusalem).
And
the
boundary
goes
up
to
the
top
of
the
mountain
that
lies
over
against
the
Valley
of
Hinnom,
on
the
west,
at
the
northern
end
of
the
Valley
of
Rephaim.
15:9 Then
the
boundary
extends
from
the
top
of
the
mountain
to
the
spring
of
the
waters
of
Nephtoah,
and
from
there
to
the
cities
of
Mount
Ephron.
Then
the
boundary
bends
around
to
Baalah
(that
is,
Kiriath-jearim).
15:10 And
the
boundary
circles
west
of
Baalah
to
Mount
Seir,
passes
along
to
the
northern
shoulder
of
Mount
Jearim
(that
is,
Chesalon),
and
goes
down
to
Beth-shemesh
and
passes
along
by
Timnah.
15:11 The
boundary
goes
out
to
the
shoulder
of
the
hill
north
of
Ekron,
then
the
boundary
bends
around
to
Shikkeron
and
passes
along
to
Mount
Baalah
and
goes
out
to
Jabneel.
Then
the
boundary
comes
to
an
end
at
the
sea.
15:12 And
the
west
boundary
was
the
Great
Sea
with
its
coastline.
This
is
the
boundary
around
the
people
of
Judah
according
to
their
clans.
15:13 According
to
the
commandment
of
the
LORD
to
Joshua,
he
gave
to
Caleb
the
son
of
Jephunneh
a
portion
among
the
people
of
Judah,
Kiriath-arba,
that
is,
Hebron
(Arba
was
the
father
of
Anak).
15:14 And
Caleb
drove
out
from
there
the
three
sons
of
Anak,
Sheshai
and
Ahiman
and
Talmai,
the
descendants
of
Anak.
15:15 And
he
went
up
from
there
against
the
inhabitants
of
Debir.
Now
the
name
of
Debir
formerly
was
Kiriath-sepher.
15:16 And
Caleb
said,
"Whoever
strikes
Kiriath-sepher
and
captures
it,
to
him
will
I
give
Achsah
my
daughter
as
wife."
15:17 And
Othniel
the
son
of
Kenaz,
the
brother
of
Caleb,
captured
it.
And
he
gave
him
Achsah
his
daughter
as
wife.
15:18 When
she
came
to
him,
she
urged
him
to
ask
her
father
for
a
field.
And
she
got
off
her
donkey,
and
Caleb
said
to
her,
"What
do
you
want"
15:19 She
said
to
him,
"Give
me
a
blessing.
Since
you
have
given
me
the
land
of
the
Negeb,
give
me
also
springs
of
water."
And
he
gave
her
the
upper
springs
and
the
lower
springs.
15:20 This
is
the
inheritance
of
the
tribe
of
the
