1The allotment for the tribe of Judah, by their clans, stretches southward to the border of Edom, to the Zin wilderness in the south.
2Their southern border runs from the southern tip of the Salt Sea,
3to south of the Ascent of Akrabbim, crosses to Zin, rises south of Kadesh Barnea, crosses to Hezron, then rises to Addar, turns toward Karka,[#Nu 34:4; Jdg 1:36]
4then crosses to Azmon, goes out to the Brook of Egypt, and then to the sea. This is your southern border.[#Nu 34:5]
5The eastern border is the Salt Sea up to the mouth of the Jordan.
The northern border runs from the northern extremity of the Dead Sea at the mouth of the Jordan River,
6then rises to Beth-hoglah, crosses north of Beth-arabah, rises to the Stone of Bohan son of Reuben,[#Jos 18:17]
7and rises to Debir from the Achor Valley, turns northward to Gilgal opposite the Ascent of Adummim south of the valley, and crosses to the waters of En-shemesh and onward to En-rogel.[#2Sa 17:17; 1Ki 1:9]
8The border rises to the Valley of Ben-hinnom, to the southern slope of the Jebusites (that is, Jerusalem), then rises to the top of the hill west of the Valley of Ben-hinnom, at the northern end of the Valley of Rephaim.[#Jos 15:63; 18:28; #Jos 18:16]
9The border turns from the top of the hill to the waters of Nephtoah and goes out to the cities of Mount Ephron, then turns to Baalah (that is, Kiriath-jearim).[#Jos 18:15; #1Ch 13:6]
10The border turns west of Baalah to Mount Seir, crosses to the northern slope of Mount Jearim (that is, Kesalon), descends to Beth-shemesh, and crosses to Timnah.[#Ge 38:12; Jdg 14:1]
11The border goes out to the northern slope of Ekron, turns to Shikkeron, crosses to Mount Baalah, goes out to Jabneel, and ends at the sea.
12The western border was the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea.[#Nu 34:6–7; Jos 15:47]
These were the borders surrounding the tribe of Judah according to their clans.
13According to the word of the Lord to Joshua, Caleb son of Jephunneh was given an allotment among the tribe of Judah: Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron). Arba was the father of Anak.
14Caleb drove out from there three Anakites: Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, descendants of Anak.[#Jdg 1:10, 20]
15He went up from there against the inhabitants of Debir. Before the name of Debir was Kiriath Sepher.[#Jos 10:38]
16Caleb said, “I will give my daughter Aksah in marriage to whoever attacks Kiriath Sepher and captures it.”
17Othniel son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, captured it, so Caleb gave him Aksah his daughter in marriage.[#Jdg 1:13; 3:9]
18When she came to Othniel, she urged him to ask her father for a field. She dismounted from her donkey, and Caleb said to her, “What can I do for you?”
19She answered, “Please give me a blessing. Since you have given me land in the Negev, now give me springs of water.” So he gave her the upper and lower springs.
