son of Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this day, because that he wholly
followed the LORD God of Israel. And the name of Hebron before was
Kirjath-arba; which Arba was a great man among the Anakims. And the
land had rest from war.
[Sidenote: Joshua 15]
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. And their south border was
from the shore of the salt sea, from the bay that looketh southward:
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: 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 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. As for the Jebusites the inhabitants of
Jerusalem, the children of Judah could not drive them out: but the
Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem unto this day.
And the lot of the children of Joseph fell from Jordan by Jericho, unto
the water of Jericho on the east, to the wilderness that goeth up from
Jericho throughout mount Beth-el, and goeth out from Beth-el to Luz,
unto the coast of Beth-horon the nether, and to Gezer: and the goings
out thereof are at the sea. So the children of Joseph, Manasseh and
Ephraim, took their inheritance. And they drave not out the Canaanites
that dwelt in Gezer: but the Canaanites dwell among the Ephraimites
unto this day, and serve under tribute.
[Sidenote: Joshua 18]
