1
And the lot for the tribe of the sons of Judah was according to their families; to▵ the border of Edom, the wilderness of Zin, toward the south at the edge of the south··side◦.
2
And their◦ south border was from the end of the Sea of Salt, from the bay* that faces southward.

And the sea border was toward the great sea and its border; this is the border of the sons of Judah all around according to their families.
13
And to Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a part in the midst of the sons of Judah, according to▵ the mouth of Jehovah to Joshua, the walled··city of Arba* the father of the Anak; it◦ is Hebron.
14
And Caleb dispossessed thence the three sons of Anak, Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai, the children of Anak.
15
And he went··up thence to▵ those who dwelt in Debir; and the name of Debir before was Kiriath-sepher.
16
And Caleb said; He that smites Kiriath-sepher and captures her, then to him will I give Achsah my daughter for a wife.
17
And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, captured it; and he gave him Achsah his daughter for a wife.
18
And it was when she came, that she incited him to ask from her father a field; and she got··down from upon the donkey, and Caleb said to her, What wilt thou◦ have◦?
19
And she said, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a land of the south; Give me also wellsprings of waters. And he gave to her the upper wellsprings and the lower◦ wellsprings.
