015:008 and the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom
to the side of the Jebusite southward (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 uttermost
part of the valley of Rephaim northward;
015:009 and the border extended from the top of the mountain
to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah, and went out to
the cities of Mount Ephron; and the border extended to Baalah
(the same is Kiriath Jearim);
015:010 and the border turned about from Baalah westward to Mount Seir,
and passed along to the side of Mount Jearim on the north
(the same is Chesalon), and went down to Beth Shemesh,
and passed along by Timnah;
015:011 and the border went out to the side of Ekron northward;
and the border extended to Shikkeron, and passed along
to Mount Baalah, and went out at Jabneel; and the goings
out of the border were at the sea.
015:012 The west border was to the great sea, and the border [of it].
This is the border of the children of Judah round about
according to their families.
015:013 To Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a portion among the children
of Judah, according to the commandment of Yahweh to Joshua,
even Kiriath Arba, [which Arba was] the father of Anak
(the same is Hebron).
015:014 Caleb drove out there the three sons of Anak: Sheshai, and Ahiman,
and Talmai, the children of Anak.
015:015 He went up there against the inhabitants of Debir:
now the name of Debir before was Kiriath Sepher.
015:016 Caleb said, He who strikes Kiriath Sepher, and takes it,
to him will I give Achsah my daughter as wife.
015:017 Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it:
and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife.
015:018 It happened, when she came [to him], that she moved him to ask
of her father a field: and she alighted from off her donkey;
and Caleb said, What would you?
015:019 She said, Give me a blessing; for that you have set me
in the land of the South, give me also springs of water.
He gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
015:020 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah
according to their families.
015:021 The uttermost cities of the tribe of the children of Judah
toward the border of Edom in the South were Kabzeel,
and Eder, and Jagur,
015:022 and Kinah, and Dimonah, and Adadah,
015:023 and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Ithnan,
015:024 Ziph, and Telem, and Bealoth,
015:025 Hazor Hadattah, Kerioth, Hezron (the same is Hazor),
015:026 Amam, and Shema, and Moladah,
015:027 and Hazar Gaddah, and Heshmon, and Beth Pelet,
015:028 and Hazar Shual, and Beersheba, and Biziothiah,
015:029 Baalah, and Iim, and Ezem,
