1 And the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families was: to the border of Edom, the wilderness of Zin, southward, in the extreme south.2 And their southern border was from the end of the salt sea, from the tongue that turns southward;3 and it went out south of the ascent of Akrabbim, and passed on to Zin, and went up on the south of Kadesh-barnea, and passed to Hezron, and went up toward Addar, and turned toward Karkaah,4 and passed on to Azmon, and went out by the torrent of Egypt; and the border ended at the sea. That shall be your border southward.5 -And the eastern border was the salt sea as far as the end of the Jordan. -And the border on the north side was from the tongue of the salt sea, at the end of the Jordan;6 and the border went up toward Beth-hoglah, and passed 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 turned northward to Gilgal, which is opposite to the ascent of Adummim, which is on the south side of the torrent; and the border passed to the waters of En-shemesh, and ended at En-rogel;8 and the border went up to the valley of the son of Hinnom, toward the south side of the Jebusite, that is, Jerusalem; and the border went up to the top of the mountain that is before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the end of the valley of Rephaim northward;9 and the border reached along from the top of the mountain toward the spring of the waters of Nephtoah, and went out toward the cities of mount Ephron; and the border reached along to Baalah, that is, Kirjath-jearim;10 and the border turned from Baalah westwards toward mount Seir, and passed toward the side of Har-jearim, that is, Chesalon, northwards, and went down to Beth-shemesh, and passed Timnah.11 And the border went out to the side of Ekron northwards, and the border reached along toward Shicron, and passed mount Baalah, and went toward Jabneel; and the border ended at the sea.12 -And the west border is the great sea and {its} coast. This is the border of the children of Judah round about, according to their families.13 And to Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a portion among the children of Judah according to the commandment of Jehovah to Joshua, the city of Arba, the father of Anak, that is, Hebron.14 And thence Caleb dispossessed the three sons of Anak, Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai, who were born of Anak.15 And from there he went up against the inhabitants of Debir; now the name of Debir before was Kirjath-sepher.16 And Caleb said, He that smites Kirjath-sepher and takes it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter as wife.17 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it; and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife.18 And it came to pass as she came, that she urged him to ask of her father a field; and she sprang down from the ass. And Caleb said to her, What wouldest thou?19 And she said, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a southern land; give me also springs of water. Then he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.20 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families.21 The cities at the extremity of the tribe of the children of Judah, toward the border of Edom in the south, were: Kabzeel, and Eder, and Jagur,22 and Kinah, and Dimonah, and Adadah,23 and Kedesh, and Hazor, and Jithnan,24 Ziph, and Telem, and Bealoth,25 and Hazor-hadattah, and Kerioth-Hezron, that is Hazor,26 Amam, and Shema, and Molada,27 and Hazar-gaddah, and Heshmon, and Beth-Pelet,28 and Hazar-Shual, and Beer-sheba, and Biziothiah;29 Baalah, and Ijim, and Ezem,30 and Eltolad, and Chesil, and Hormah,31 and Ziklag, and Madmannah, and Sansanna,32 and Lebaoth, and Shilhim, and Ain, and Rimmon: all the cities twenty-nine, and their hamlets.33 -In the lowland: Eshtaol, and Zoreah, and Ashnah,34 and Zanoah, and En-gannim, Tappuah and Enam,35 Jarmuth and Adullam, Sochoh and Azekah,36 and Shaaraim, and Adithaim, and Gederah, and Gederothaim: fourteen cities and their hamlets.37 Zenan, and Hadashah, and Migdal-Gad,38 and Dilean, 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 cities and their hamlets.42 Libna, and Ether, and Ashan,43 and Jiphthah, and Ashnah, and Nezib,44 and Keilah, and Achzib, and Mareshah: nine cities and their hamlets.45 Ekron and its dependent villages and its hamlets.46 From Ekron and westward all that are by the side of Ashdod, and their hamlets.47 Ashdod, its dependent villages and its hamlets; Gazah, its dependent villages and its hamlets, as far as the torrent of Egypt, and the great sea and {its} coast.48 -And in the hill-country: Shamir, and Jattir, and Sochoh,49 and Dannah, and Kirjath-sannah, that is, Debir,50 and Anab, and Eshtemoh, and Anim,51 and Goshen, and Holon, and Giloh: eleven cities and their hamlets.52 Arab, and Dumah, and Eshan,53 and Janum, and Beth-Tappuah, and Aphekah,54 and Humtah, and Kirjath-Arba, that is, Hebron, and Zior: nine cities and their hamlets.55 Maon, Carmel, and Ziph, and Jutah,56 and Jizreel, and Jokdeam, and Zanoah,57 Kain, Gibeah and Timnah: ten cities and their hamlets.58 Halhul, Beth-Zur, and Gedor,59 and Maarath, and Beth-anoth, and Eltekon: six cities and their hamlets.60 Kirjath-Baal, that is, Kirjath-jearim, and Rabbah: two cities and their hamlets.61 -In the wilderness: Beth-Arabah, Middin, and Secacah,62 and Nibshan, and Ir-Hammelah, and En-gedi: six cities and their hamlets.63 But as for the Jebusites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children of Judah could not dispossess them; and the Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem to this day.

1 En vir die stam van die kinders van Juda, volgens hulle geslagte, het die lot geval: teen die grens van Edom, suidelik na die woestyn Sin toe, tot ver in die suide;2 en hulle suidelike lyn was van die end van die Soutsee, van die tong af wat na die suide toe uitsteek;3 en dit loop aan suid van Skerpioennek en loop oor na Sin en loop op suid van Kades-Barn,a en loop oor na Hesron en loop op na Addar en swaai na Karka toe;4 dan loop dit oor na Asmon en loop aan na die spruit van Egipte, sodat die lyn doodloop by die see; dit sal julle suidelike lyn wees.5 En die oostelike lyn: Die Soutsee tot by die mond van die Jordaan. En die lyn aan die noordekant: Van die tong van die see, van die mond van die Jordaan af6 loop die lyn op na Bet-Hogla en loop oor noord van Bet-Araba; dan loop die lyn op na die klip van Bohan, die seun van Ruben.7 Verder loop die lyn op na Debir, van die dal Agor af, en swaai dan noord na Gilgal wat teenoor die hoogte van Adummim, suidelik van die spruit lê; dan loop die lyn oor na die waters van die fontein Semes, sodat dit doodloop by die fontein Rogel.8 Verder loop die lyn op na die dal Ben-Hinnom, na die suidelike hang van die Jebusiete, dit is Jerusalem; dan loop die lyn op na die top van die gebergte wat westelik voor die dal Hinnom lê, wat aan die noordelike einde van die dal Refaim is.9 Van die top van die berg af buig die lyn dan om na die fontein van die waters van Neftoag en loop aan na die stede van die gebergte Efron; verder buig die lyn om na B äla, dit is Kirjat-Je rim.10 Dan swaai die lyn van B äla af weg in westelike rigting na die gebergte Se‹r en loop oor na die noordelike hang van die berg Je rim, dit is K,salon, en loop af na Bet-Semes en loop oor na Timna.11 Verder loop die lyn aan noord na die hang van Ekron; dan buig die lyn om na Sikron en loop oor die berg B äla en loop aan na J bneël, sodat die lyn doodloop by die see.12 Die westelike grens was die Groot See saam met sy gebied; dit is die lyn rondom van die kinders van Juda volgens hulle geslagte.13 Maar aan Kaleb, die seun van Jefunne, het hy 'n aandeel onder die kinders van Juda gegee, volgens die bevel van die HERE aan Josua: die stad van Arba, die vader van Enak, dit is Hebron.14 En Kaleb het die drie seuns van Enak: Sesai, Ah¡man en Talmai, afstammelinge van Enak, daaruit verdrywe.15 En daarvandaan het hy opgetrek teen die inwoners van Debir; maar die naam van Debir was tevore Kirjat-Sefer;16 en Kaleb het gesê: Hy wat Kirjat-Sefer verslaan en dit inneem, aan hom sal ek my dogter Agsa as vrou gee.17 Daarop het Otniël, die seun van Kenas, die broer van Kaleb, dit ingeneem; en hy het sy dogter Agsa aan hom as vrou gegee.18 En toe sy aankom, het sy hom aangespoor om van haar vader 'n stuk grond te vra; en toe sy van die esel afklim, sê Kaleb vir haar: Wat wil jy hê?19 En sy sê: Gee my tog 'n geskenk; omdat u my na 'n dor land versit het, moet u my waterfonteine gee. Toe gee hy haar fonteine op die hoogte en fonteine in die laagte.20 Dit is die erfdeel van die stam van die kinders van Juda, volgens hulle geslagte.21 En die stede van die uiteinde van die stam van Juda se kinders af tot by die grens van Edom was in die suide: K bseël en Eder en Jagur,22 en Kina en Dimona en Ad da,23 en Kedes en Hasor en Jitnan,24 Sif en Telem en B,alot,25 en Hasor-Had tta en K,riot-Hesron, dit is Hasor;26 Amam en Sema en Molada,27 en Hasar-Gadda en Hesmon en Bet-Palet,28 en Hasar-Sual en Beër-Seba en Bisjotja,29 B äla en Ijjim en Esem,30 en ltolad en Kesil en Horma,31 en Siklag en Madm nna en Sans nna,32 en Leb ot en Silhim en Ajin en Rimmon; al die stede saam nege en twintig, met hulle dorpe;33 in die Laeveld: Est ol en Sorea en Asna,34 en Sanoag en En-Gannim, Tappuag en Enam,35 Jarmut en Adullam, Sogo en As,ka,36 en Sa„r im en Ad¡taim en Ged,ra en Ged,rotaim: veertien stede met hulle dorpe;37 Senan en Had sa en Migdal-Gad,38 en Dilean en Mispe en Jokteël,39 Lagis en Boskat en Eglon,40 en Kabbon en Lagmas en Kitlis,41 en Ged,rot, Bet-Dagon en N äma en Makk,da: sestien stede met hulle dorpe;42 Libna en Eter en Asan,43 en Jiftag en Asna en Nesib,44 en Keh¡la en Agsib en Mar,sa: nege stede met hulle dorpe;45 Ekron met sy onderhorige plekke en sy dorpe;46 van Ekron af en na die weste toe, alles wat aan die kant van Asdod lê, met hulle dorpe;47 Asdod, sy onderhorige plekke en sy dorpe; Gasa, sy onderhorige plekke en sy dorpe, tot by die spruit van Egipte en die Groot See saam met sy gebied;48 en op die Gebergte: Samir en Jattir en Sogo,49 en Danna en Kirjat-Sanna, dit is Debir,50 en Anab en Est,mo en Anim,51 en Gosen en Holon en Gilo: elf stede met hulle dorpe;52 Arab en Duma en Esean,53 en Janum en Bet-Tappuag en Af,ka,54 en Humta en Kirjat-Arba, dit is Hebron, en Sior: nege stede met hulle dorpe;55 Maon, Karmel en Sif en Jutta,56 en J¡sreël en Jokdeam en Sanoag,57 Kain, G¡bea en Timna: tien stede met hulle dorpe;58 Halhul, Bet-Sur en Gedor,59 en M ärat en Bet-Anot en ltekon: ses stede met hulle dorpe;60 Kirjat-Ba„l, dit is Kirjat-Je rim, en Rabba: twee stede met hulle dorpe;61 in die woestyn: Bet-Araba, Middin en Seg ga,62 en Nibsan en die Soutstad en ngedi: ses stede met hulle dorpe.63 Maar die kinders van Juda kon die Jebusiete, die inwoners van Jerusalem, nie verdryf nie; daarom het die Jebusiete saam met die kinders van Juda in Jerusalem bly woon tot vandag toe.
