1 Now the part of the land marked out for the children of Judah by families, went up to the edge of Edom, as far as the waste land of Zin to the south, to the farthest point of it on the south.2 Their south limit was from the farthest part of the Salt Sea, from the inlet looking to the south:3 From there it goes south of the slope up to Akrabbim, and on to Zin, then south past Kadesh-barnea, and on by Hezron and up to Addar, turning in the direction of Karka:4 Then on to Azmon, ending at the stream of Egypt: and the end of the limit is at the sea; this will be your limit on the south.5 And the east limit is the Salt Sea as far as the end of Jordan. And the limit of the north part of the land is from the inlet of the sea at the end of Jordan:6 Then the line goes up to Beth-hoglah, past the north of Beth-arabah, and up to the stone of Bohan, the son of Reuben;7 Then the line goes up to Debir from the valley of Achor, and so to the north, in the direction of Gilgal, which is opposite the slope up to Adummim, on the south side of the river: and the line goes on to the waters of En-shemesh, ending at En-rogel:8 Then the line goes up by the valley of the son of Hinnom to the south side of the Jebusite (which is Jerusalem): then up to the top of the mountain in front of the valley of Hinnom to the west, which is at the farthest point of the valley of Rephaim on the north:9 And the limit is marked out from the top of the mountain to the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah, and out to the towns of Mount Ephron, as far as Baalah (which is Kiriath-jearim):10 Then turning west, the line goes from Baalah to Mount Seir, and on to the side of Mount Jearim (which is Chesalon) on the north, then down to Beth-shemesh, and on past Timnah:11 And out to the side of Ekron to the north: then it is marked out to Shikkeron and on to Mount Baalah, ending at Jabneel; the end of the line is at the sea.12 And the limit on the west is the edge of the Great Sea. This is the line going round the land marked out for the children of Judah, by their families.13 And to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, he gave a part among the children of Judah, as the Lord had given orders to Joshua, that is, Kiriath-arba, named after Arba, the father of Anak which is Hebron.14 And the three sons of Anak, Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai, the children of Anak, were forced out from there by Caleb.15 From there he went up against the people of Debir: (now the name of Debir before that was Kiriath-sepher.)16 And Caleb said, I will give Achsah, my daughter, as wife to the man who overcomes Kiriath-sepher and takes it.17 And Othniel, the son of Kenaz, Caleb's brother, took it: so he gave him his daughter Achsah for his wife.18 Now when she came to him, he put into her mind the idea of requesting a field from her father: and she got down from her ass; and Caleb said to her, What is it?19 And she said, Give me a blessing; because you have put me in dry south-land, now give me springs of water. So he gave her the higher spring and the lower spring.20 This is the heritage of the tribe of Judah, by their families.21 The farthest towns of the tribe of Judah in the direction of the limits of Edom to the south, were Kabzeel, and Eder, and Jagur;22 And Kinah, and Dimonah, and Adadah;23 And Kedesh, and Hazor, and Ithnan;24 Ziph, and Telem, and Bealoth;25 And Hazor-hadattah, and Kerioth-hezron (which is Hazor);26 Amam, and Shema, and Moladah;27 And Hazar-gaddah, and Heshmon, and Beth-pelet;28 And Hazar-shual, and Beer-sheba, and Biziothiah;29 Baalah, and Iim, and Ezem;30 And Eltolad, and Chesil, and Hormah;31 And Ziklag, and Madmannah, and Sansannah;32 And Lebaoth, and Shilhim, and Ain, and Rimmon; all the towns are twenty-nine, with their unwalled places.33 In the lowland, Eshtaol, and Zorah, and Ashnah;34 And Zanoah, and En-gannim, Tappuah, and Enam;35 Jarmuth, and Adullam, Socoh, and Azekah;36 And Shaaraim, and Adithaim, and Gederah, and Gederothaim; fourteen towns with their unwalled places.37 Zenan, and Hadashah, and Migdal-gad;38 And Dilan, and Mizpeh, and Joktheel;39 Lachish, and Bozkath, and Eglon;40 And Cabbon, and Lahmas, and Chithlish;41 And Gederoth, Beth-dagon, and Naamah, and Makkedah; sixteen towns with their unwalled places.42 Libnah, and Ether, and Ashan;43 And Iphtah, and Ashnah, and Nezib;44 And Keilah, and Achzib, and Mareshah; nine towns with their unwalled places.45 Ekron, with her daughter-towns and her unwalled places;46 From Ekron to the sea, all the towns by the side of Ashdod, with their unwalled places.47 Ashdod, with her daughter-towns and her unwalled places; Gaza, with her daughter-towns and her unwalled places, to the stream of Egypt, with the Great Sea as a limit.48 And in the hill-country, Shamir, and Jattir, and Socoh;49 And Dannah, and Kiriath-sannah (which is Debir);50 And Anab, and Eshtemoh, and Anim;51 And Goshen, and Holon, and Giloh; eleven towns with their unwalled places.52 Arab, and Dumah, and Eshan;53 And Janim, and Beth-tappuah, and Aphekah;54 And Humtah, and Kiriath-arba (which is Hebron), and Zior; nine towns with their unwalled places.55 Maon, Carmel, and Ziph, and Jutah;56 And Jezreel, and Jokdeam, and Zanoah;57 Kain, Gibeah, and Timnah; ten towns with their unwalled places.58 Halhul, Beth-zur, and Gedor;59 And Maarath, and Beth-anoth, and Eltekon; six towns with their unwalled places.60 Kiriath-baal (which is Kiriath-jearim), and Rabbah; two towns with their unwalled places.61 In the waste land, Beth-arabah, Middin, and Secacah;62 And Nibshan, and the Town of Salt, and En-gedi; six towns with their unwalled places.63 And as for the Jebusites living in Jerusalem, the children of Judah were unable to make them go out; but the Jebusites are living with the children of Judah at Jerusalem, to this day.

1 Igitur sors filiorum Jud per cognationes suas ista fuit : a termino Edom, desertum Sin, contra meridiem, et usque ad extremam partem australis plag. 2 Initium ejus a summitate maris salsissimi, et a lingua ejus, qu respicit meridiem. 3 Egrediturque contra ascensum Scorpionis, et pertransit in Sina : ascenditque in Cadesbarne, et pervenit in Esron, ascendens ad Addar, et circuiens Carcaa, 4 atque inde pertransiens in Asemona, et perveniens ad torrentem gypti : eruntque termini ejus mare magnum. Hic erit finis meridian plag. 5 Ab oriente vero erit initium, mare salsissimum usque ad extrema Jordanis : et ea qu respiciunt ad aquilonem, a lingua maris usque ad eumdem Jordanis fluvium. 6 Ascenditque terminus in Beth Hagla, et transit ab aquilone in Beth Araba, ascendens ad lapidem Bon filii Ruben : 7 et tendens usque ad terminos Debera de valle Achor, contra aquilonem respiciens Galgala, qu est ex adverso ascensionis Adommim, ab australi parte torrentis : transitque aquas, qu vocantur fons solis : et erunt exitus ejus ad fontem Rogel. 8 Ascenditque per convallem filii Ennom ex latere Jebusi ad meridiem, hc est Jerusalem : et inde se erigens ad verticem montis, qui est contra Geennom ad occidentem in summitate vallis Raphaim contra aquilonem : 9 pertransitque a vertice montis usque ad fontem aqu Nephtoa : et pervenit usque ad vicos montis Ephron : inclinaturque in Baala, qu est Cariathiarim, id est, urbs silvarum. 10 Et circuit de Baala contra occidentem, usque ad montem Seir : transitque juxta latus montis Jarim ad aquilonem in Cheslon : et descendit in Bethsames, transitque in Thamna. 11 Et pervenit contra aquilonem partis Accaron ex latere : inclinaturque Sechrona, et transit montem Baala : pervenitque in Jebneel, et magni maris contra occidentem fine concluditur. 12 Hi sunt termini filiorum Juda per circuitum in cognationibus suis.13 Caleb vero filio Jephone dedit partem in medio filiorum Juda, sicut prceperat ei Dominus : Cariath Arbe patris Enac, ipsa est Hebron. 14 Delevitque ex ea Caleb tres filios Enac, Sesai et Ahiman et Tholmai de stirpe Enac. 15 Atque inde conscendens venit ad habitatores Dabir, qu prius vocabatur Cariath Sepher, id est, civitas litterarum. 16 Dixitque Caleb : Qui percusserit Cariath Sepher, et ceperit eam, dabo ei Axam filiam meam uxorem. 17 Cepitque eam Othoniel filius Cenez frater Caleb junior : deditque ei Axam filiam suam uxorem. 18 Qu, cum pergerent simul, suasa est a viro suo ut peteret a patre suo agrum. Suspiravitque ut sedebat in asino : cui Caleb : Quid habes ? inquit. 19 At illa respondit : Da mihi benedictionem : terram australem et arentem dedisti mihi ; junge et irriguam. Dedit itaque ei Caleb irriguum superius et inferius.20 Hc est possessio tribus filiorum Juda per cognationes suas. 21 Erantque civitates ab extremis partibus filiorum Juda juxta terminos Edom a meridie : Cabseel et Eder et Jagur, 22 et Cyna et Dimona et Adada, 23 et Cades et Asor et Jethnam, 24 Ziph et Telem et Baloth, 25 Asor nova et Carioth, Hesron, hc est Asor ; 26 Amam, Sama, et Molada, 27 et Asergadda et Hassemon et Bethphelet, 28 et Hasersual et Bersabee et Baziothia, 29 et Baala et Jim et Esem, 30 et Eltholad et Cesil et Harma, 31 et Siceleg et Medemena et Sensenna, 32 Lebaoth et Selim et An et Remon.

Gaza cum vicis et villulis suis, usque ad torrentem gypti, et mare magnum terminus ejus. 48 Et in monte : Samir et Jether et Socoth 49 et Danna et Cariathsenna, hc est Dabir : 50 Anab et Istemo et Anim, 51 Gosen et Olon et Gilo : civitates undecim et vill earum. 52 Arab et Ruma et Esaan, 53 et Janum et Beththaphua et Apheca, 54 Athmatha, et Cariath Arbe, hc est Hebron, et Sior : civitates novem, et vill earum. 55 Maon et Carmel et Ziph et Jota, 56 Jezral et Jucadam et Zano, 57 Accain, Gabaa et Thamna : civitates decem et vill earum. 58 Halhul, et Besur, et Gedor, 59 Mareth, et Bethanoth, et Eltecon : civitates sex et vill earum. 60 Cariathbaal, hc est Cariathiarim urbs silvarum, et Arebba : civitates du, et vill earum. 61 In deserto Betharaba, Meddin, et Sachacha, 62 et Nebsan, et civitas salis, et Engaddi : civitates sex, et vill earum. 63 Jebusum autem habitatorem Jerusalem non potuerunt filii Juda delere : habitavitque Jebusus cum filiis Juda in Jerusalem usque in prsentem diem.
