¹ Dio što je pripao plemenu sinova Judinih, po njihovim porodicama, bijaše prema granici edomskoj, na jug do Sinske pustinje, na krajnjem jugu.

² A južna im međa išla od kraja Slanoga mora od zaljeva što je na jugu;

³ izlazila je onda južno od Akrabimskog uspona, pružala se preko Sina i uzlazila južno od Kadeš Barnee, prelazila Hesron, penjala se k Adari i odatle okretala prema Karkai,

⁴ potom prelazila Asmon i dopirala do Potoka egipatskog i najposlije izbijala na more. To vam je južna međa.

⁵ Na istoku je međa bila: Slano more do ušća Jordana. Sjeverna je međa počinjala od Slanog mora kod ušća Jordana.

⁶ Odatle je međa uzlazila u Bet-Hoglu, tekla sjeverno uz Bet-Arabu, išla gore na Kamen Bohana, sina Rubenova.

⁷ Međa se zatim dizala od Akorske doline prema Debiru, okretala na sjever prema Gelilotu, koji leži naprama Adumimskom usponu, južno od Potoka; dalje je međa prolazila prema vodama En-Šemeša te izlazila kod En-Rogela.

⁸ Odatle se preko doline Ben-Hinom s juga dizala k Jebusejskom obronku, to jest k Jeruzalemu. Potom se uspinjala na vrh gore koja prema zapadu gleda na dolinu Hinon i leži na sjevernom kraju doline Refaima.

⁹ S vrha te gore zavijala je međa na izvor Neftoah te izlazila prema gradovima u gori Efronu da zatim okrene k Baali, to jest Kirjat Jearimu.

¹⁰ Od Baale međa je okretala na zapad prema gori Seiru i onda, prolazeći sjeverno od gore Jearima, to jest Kesalona, spuštala se u Bet-Šemeš te išla k Timni.

¹¹ Dalje je međa tekla k sjevernom obronku Ekrona, okretala prema Šikronu, prelazila visove Baale, pružala se do Jabneela da konačno izbije na more.

¹² Zapadna je međa Veliko more s obalom. To su bile zemlje sinova Judinih, unaokolo, po porodicama njihovim.

¹³ Kaleb, sin Jefuneov, primi dio među sinovima Judinim, kako je Jahve naredio Jošui. Dao mu je Kirjat Arbu, glavni grad sinova Anakovih - Hebron.

¹⁴ Kaleb protjera odatle tri sina Anakova: Šešaja, Ahimana i Talmaja, potomke Anakove.

¹⁵ Odatle krenu na stanovnike Debira, koji se nekoć zvao Kirjat Sefer.

¹⁶ Tada reče Kaleb: "Tko pokori i zauzme Kirjat Sefer, dat ću mu svoju kćer Aksu za ženu."

¹⁷ Zauze ga Otniel, sin Kenaza, brata Kalebova; i dade mu Kaleb svoju kćer Aksu za ženu.

¹⁸ Kad je prišla mužu, on je nagovori da u svoga oca zatraži polje. Ona siđe s magarca, a Kaleb je upita: "Šta hoćeš?"

¹⁹ Ona odgovori: "Daj mi blagoslov! Kad si mi dao kraj u Negebu, daj mi i koji izvor vode." I on joj dade Gornje i Donje izvore.

⁶³ A Jebusejce koji su živjeli u Jeruzalemu nisu mogli protjerati sinovi Judini. Tako su ostali sa sinovima Judinim u Jeruzalemu sve do danas.

¹ This then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah by their families; even to the border of Edom the wilderness of Zin southward was the uttermost part of the south coast.

² And their south border was from the shore of the salt sea, from the bay that looketh southward:

³ And it went out to the south side to Maaleh-acrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and ascended up on the south side unto Kadesh-barnea, and passed along to Hezron, and went up to Adar, and fetched a compass to Karkaa:

⁴ From thence it passed toward Azmon, and went out unto the river of Egypt; and the goings out of that coast were at the sea: this shall be your south coast.

⁵ And the east border was the salt sea, even unto the end of Jordan. And their border in the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the uttermost part of Jordan:

⁶ And the border went up to Beth-hogla, and passed along by the north of Beth-arabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben:

⁷ And the border went up toward Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that is before the going up to Adummim, which is on the south side of the river: and the border passed toward the waters of En-shemesh, and the goings out thereof were at En-rogel:

⁸ And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom unto the south side of the Jebusite; the same is Jerusalem: and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lieth before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the end of the valley of the giants northward:

⁹ And the border was drawn from the top of the hill unto the fountain of the water of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of mount Ephron; and the border was drawn to Baalah, which is Kirjath-jearim:

¹⁰ And the border compassed from Baalah westward unto mount Seir, and passed along unto the side of mount Jearim, which is Chesalon, on the north side, and went down to Beth-shemesh, and passed on to Timnah:

¹¹ And the border went out unto the side of Ekron northward: and the border was drawn to Shicron, and passed along to mount Baalah, and went out unto Jabneel; and the goings out of the border were at the sea.

¹² And the west border was to the great sea, and the coast thereof. This is the coast of the children of Judah round about according to their families.

¹³ And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a part among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua, even the city of Arba the father of Anak, which city is Hebron.

¹⁴ And Caleb drove thence the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.

¹⁵ And he went up thence to the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before was Kirjath-sepher.

¹⁶ And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.

¹⁷ And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.

¹⁸ 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 Caleb said unto her, What wouldest thou?

¹⁹ Who answered, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a south land; Give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs, and the nether springs.

²⁰ This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families.
