THIS then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Yahudah by their families; even to the border of Edom the wilderness of Tsin 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 looks southward:
And it went out to the south side to Ma`aleh Aqrabbiym, and passed along to Tsin, and ascended up on the south side unto Qadesh Barnea, and passed along to Chetsron, and went up to Addar, and fetched a compass to Qarqa:
From thence it passed toward Atsmon, and went out unto the river of Mitsrayim; and the goings out of that coast were at the sea: this shall be your south coast.
And the east border was the Salt Sea, even unto the end of Yardan. And their border in the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the uttermost part of the Yardan:
And the border went up to Beyt Choglah, and passed along by the north of Beyt Ha-Aravah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Re'uven:
And the border went up toward Deviyr from Emeq Akor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that is before the going up to Adummiym, which is on the south side of the river: and the border passed toward the waters of Eyn Shemesh, and the goings out thereof were at Eyn Rogel:
And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom unto the south side of the Yevuciy; the same is Yerushalayim: and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lies before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the end of the valley of the Repha'iym northward:
And the border was drawn from the top of the hill unto the fountain of the water of Nephtoach, and went out to the cities of Mount Ephron; and the border was drawn to Ba`alah, which is Qiryat Ye`ariym:
And the border compassed from Ba'alah westward unto Mount Se'iyr, and passed along unto the side of Mount Ye'ariym, which is Kecalon, on the north side, and went down to Beyt Shemesh, and passed on to Timna:
And the border went out unto the side of Eqron northward: and the border was drawn to Shikkeron, and passed along to Mount Ba`alah, and went out unto Yavne'el; and the goings out of the border were at the sea.
And the west border was to the Great Sea, and the coast thereof. This is the coast of the children of Yahudah round about according to their families.
And unto Kalev the son of Yephunneh he gave a part among the children of Yahudah, according to the commandment of Yahuah to Yahusha, even Qiryat Arba the father of Anaq, which city is Chevron.
And Kalev drove thence the three sons of Anaq, Sheshai, and Achiyman, and Talmai, the children of Anaq.
And he went up thence to the inhabitants of Deviyr: and the name of Deviyr before was Qiryat Cepher.
And Kalev said, He that smites Qiryat Cepher, and takes it, to him will I give Akcah my daughter to be his woman.
And Othniy'el the son of Qenaz, the brother of Kalev, took it: and he gave him Akcah his daughter to be his woman.
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 Kalev said unto her, What would you?
Who answered, Give me a blessing; for you have given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And he gave her את the upper springs, and את the nether springs.
