1 καὶ ἐγένετο τὰ ὅρια φυλῆς ιουδα κατὰ δήμους αὐτῶν ἀπὸ τῶν ὁρίων τῆς ιδουμαίας ἀπὸ τῆς ἐρήμου σιν ἕως καδης πρὸς λίβα

2 καὶ ἐγενήθη αὐτῶν τὰ ὅρια ἀπὸ λιβὸς ἕως μέρους τῆς θαλάσσης τῆς ἁλυκῆς ἀπὸ τῆς λοφιᾶς τῆς φερούσης ἐπὶ λίβα

3 καὶ διαπορεύεται ἀπέναντι τῆς προσαναβάσεως ακραβιν καὶ ἐκπεριπορεύεται σεννα καὶ ἀναβαίνει ἀπὸ λιβὸς ἐπὶ καδης βαρνη καὶ ἐκπορεύεται ασωρων καὶ προσαναβαίνει εἰς αδδαρα καὶ περιπορεύεται τὴν κατὰ δυσμὰς καδης

4 καὶ πορεύεται ἐπὶ ασεμωνα καὶ διεκβαλεῖ ἕως φάραγγος αἰγύπτου καὶ ἔσται αὐτοῦ ἡ διέξοδος τῶν ὁρίων ἐπὶ τὴν θάλασσαν τοῦτό ἐστιν αὐτῶν ὅρια ἀπὸ λιβός

5 καὶ τὰ ὅρια ἀπὸ ἀνατολῶν πᾶσα ἡ θάλασσα ἡ ἁλυκὴ ἕως τοῦ ιορδάνου καὶ τὰ ὅρια αὐτῶν ἀπὸ βορρᾶ καὶ ἀπὸ τῆς λοφιᾶς τῆς θαλάσσης καὶ ἀπὸ τοῦ μέρους τοῦ ιορδάνου

6 ἐπιβαίνει τὰ ὅρια ἐπὶ βαιθαγλα καὶ παραπορεύεται ἀπὸ βορρᾶ ἐπὶ βαιθαραβα καὶ προσαναβαίνει τὰ ὅρια ἐπὶ λίθον βαιων υἱοῦ ρουβην

7 καὶ προσαναβαίνει τὰ ὅρια ἐπὶ τὸ τέταρτον τῆς φάραγγος αχωρ καὶ καταβαίνει ἐπὶ γαλγαλ ἥ ἐστιν ἀπέναντι τῆς προσβάσεως αδδαμιν ἥ ἐστιν κατὰ λίβα τῇ φάραγγι καὶ διεκβαλεῖ ἐπὶ τὸ ὕδωρ πηγῆς ἡλίου καὶ ἔσται αὐτοῦ ἡ διέξοδος πηγὴ ρωγηλ

8 καὶ ἀναβαίνει τὰ ὅρια εἰς φάραγγα ονομ ἐπὶ νώτου ιεβους ἀπὸ λιβός αὕτη ἐστὶν ιερουσαλημ καὶ διεκβάλλει τὰ ὅρια ἐπὶ κορυφὴν ὄρους ἥ ἐστιν κατὰ πρόσωπον φάραγγος ονομ πρὸς θαλάσσης ἥ ἐστιν ἐκ μέρους γῆς ραφαϊν ἐπὶ βορρᾶ

9 καὶ διεκβάλλει τὸ ὅριον ἀπὸ κορυφῆς τοῦ ὄρους ἐπὶ πηγὴν ὕδατος ναφθω καὶ διεκβάλλει εἰς τὸ ὄρος εφρων καὶ ἐξάξει τὸ ὅριον εἰς βααλ αὕτη ἐστὶν πόλις ιαριμ

10 καὶ περιελεύσεται ὅριον ἀπὸ βααλ ἐπὶ θάλασσαν καὶ παρελεύσεται εἰς ὄρος ασσαρες ἐπὶ νώτου πόλιν ιαριμ ἀπὸ βορρᾶ αὕτη ἐστὶν χασλων καὶ καταβήσεται ἐπὶ πόλιν ἡλίου καὶ παρελεύσεται ἐπὶ λίβα

11 καὶ διεκβαλεῖ τὸ ὅριον κατὰ νώτου ακκαρων ἐπὶ βορρᾶν καὶ διεκβαλεῖ τὰ ὅρια εἰς σακχαρωνα καὶ παρελεύσεται ὄρος τῆς βαλα καὶ διεκβαλεῖ ἐπὶ ιαβνηλ καὶ ἔσται ἡ διέξοδος τῶν ὁρίων ἐπὶ θάλασσαν

12 καὶ τὰ ὅρια αὐτῶν ἀπὸ θαλάσσης ἡ θάλασσα ἡ μεγάλη ὁριεῖ ταῦτα τὰ ὅρια υἱῶν ιουδα κύκλῳ κατὰ δήμους αὐτῶν

13 καὶ τῷ χαλεβ υἱῷ ιεφοννη ἔδωκεν μερίδα ἐν μέσῳ υἱῶν ιουδα διὰ προστάγματος τοῦ θεοῦ καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ ἰησοῦς τὴν πόλιν αρβοκ μητρόπολιν ενακ αὕτη ἐστὶν χεβρων

14 καὶ ἐξωλέθρευσεν ἐκεῖθεν χαλεβ υἱὸς ιεφοννη τοὺς τρεῖς υἱοὺς ενακ τὸν σουσι καὶ τὸν θολμι καὶ τὸν αχιμα

15 καὶ ἀνέβη ἐκεῖθεν χαλεβ ἐπὶ τοὺς κατοικοῦντας δαβιρ τὸ δὲ ὄνομα δαβιρ ἦν τὸ πρότερον πόλις γραμμάτων

16 καὶ εἶπεν χαλεβ ὃς ἐὰν λάβῃ καὶ ἐκκόψῃ τὴν πόλιν τῶν γραμμάτων καὶ κυριεύσῃ αὐτῆς δώσω αὐτῷ τὴν αχσαν θυγατέρα μου εἰς γυναῖκα

17 καὶ ἔλαβεν αὐτὴν γοθονιηλ υἱὸς κενεζ ἀδελφὸς χαλεβ ὁ νεώτερος καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῷ τὴν αχσαν θυγατέρα αὐτοῦ αὐτῷ γυναῖκα

18 καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῷ εἰσπορεύεσθαι αὐτὴν καὶ συνεβουλεύσατο αὐτῷ λέγουσα αἰτήσομαι τὸν πατέρα μου ἀγρόν καὶ ἐβόησεν ἐκ τοῦ ὄνου καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῇ χαλεβ τί ἐστίν σοι

19 καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ δός μοι εὐλογίαν ὅτι εἰς γῆν ναγεβ δέδωκάς με δός μοι τὴν γολαθμαιν καὶ ἔδωκεν αὐτῇ χαλεβ τὴν γολαθμαιν τὴν ἄνω καὶ τὴν γολαθμαιν τὴν κάτω

Exploring the Meaning of Joshua 15

Napsal(a) New Christian Bible Study Staff, Julian Duckworth

Joshua 15: Judah’s territory and more about Caleb.

This chapter describes the territory given to the tribe of Judah, and lists many of its cities and borders. Judah received a major portion of the land of Canaan; its eastern border was the Salt Sea (the Dead Sea), and the western border was the Great Sea (the Mediterranean).

Although Judah was the fourth son of Jacob, he played a more significant role in many of the Old Testament stories than his older brothers did. So, it is not surprising that the tribe of Judah received extensive territory in the south of Canaan, which in later time became the nation of Judah, along with the tribe of Benjamin’s small territory. The name ‘Judah’ also eventually led to the name ‘Jewish’, coming from the Roman province of Judaea. The name ‘Judah’ also means “praise”, specifically praise of God (see Swedenborg’s work, Arcana Caelestia 456).

Praise itself is a commendation of a person’s good qualities. To give praise is part of our love for our neighbour; to receive praise underscores our sense of our own value. To praise the Lord is to give thanks to Him, and to affirm the difference that the Lord makes in our life. Ultimately, praise is part of our faith in the Lord to lead us through this life and for eternity.

This uplifting, positive spiritual meaning of Judah does not mean that Judah (the man in the Old Testament) was without faults. He had his flaws, as everyone does, but at times Judah changed the course of events for a better outcome. It was Judah who persuaded his brothers to sell Joseph rather than kill him, and he also offered himself as a hostage for the sake of his brothers (Arcana Caelestia 4815[2]).

Chapter 15 lists very many locations in Judah’s territory. Here are just a few of the places listed, along with their meaning and spiritual significance:

Judah = “praise”

Spiritually = our worship of God

Which includes these, and many more aspects…

Zin = “flat, level ground”

Spiritually = life under God’s guidance

Kadesh Barnea = “holy wanderings”

Spiritually = becoming purified

Beth Hoglah = “house of the partridge”

Spiritually = bringing to birth

En Rogel = “water spring of the foot”

Spiritually = life in everyday activities

Jerusalem = “dwelling place of peace; wholeness”

Spiritually = our highest spiritual state

Nephtoah = “to be open”

Spiritually = to be part of all life

Timnah = “allotted portion”

Spiritually = what the Lord has created me for

Mount Hebron, which was in the territory of Judah, was given to Caleb as an inheritance because of his faithfulness to God. We read in this chapter that he conquers the giants living there, and drives them away from Mount Hebron. Caleb makes a promise that whoever takes the nearby city of Kirjath-sepher will have his daughter, Achsah, for a wife. Caleb’s brother’s son, Othniel, captures the city and marries Achsah. Caleb blesses Achsah and gives her springs of water upon her request, and he also gives Othniel a field.

The spiritual meaning of this touching story is that our spiritual life is intended to come together to be like a family (Arcana Caelestia 3020), just as Caleb, Achsah and Othniel are all close members of a family. Spiritual life is about bringing together our beliefs, our loves and affections, our intentions, and our actions. These different aspects of spiritual life become like one family where everyone – or everything – is interwoven together.

456. Those who were the most well-versed have said that heavenly joy consisted in simply praising and blessing the Lord without performing good deeds of charity, and that this was an active life. They were told however that praising and blessing the Lord did not constitute such an active life, but was the outgrowth of that life, for the Lord has no need of any praises. They were also told that He wishes men to perform the good deeds of charity, and that in accordance with these they receive happiness from the Lord. But these very well-versed people were still unable to grasp any idea of joy, only of slavery, in the good deeds of charity. The angels testified however that such a life is absolute freedom, and that it is joined to indescribable happiness.
