1 As famílias da tribo de Judá receberam uma parte da terra com os seguintes limites: ao sul as terras iam até a divisa de Edom e até o deserto de Zim. 2 Começavam bem no sul do mar Morto 3 e iam em direção ao sul, desde a subida de Acrabim até chegar a Zim. Partindo da região sul, a divisa subia a Cades-Barneia, passava por Hezrom, ia até Adar e rodeava Carca. 4 Continuava até Azmom e seguia o ribeirão, na divisa do Egito, até o mar Mediterrâneo, onde terminava. Estas eram as divisas da tribo de Judá, ao sul.
5 A leste a divisa era o mar Morto, até o ponto onde o rio Jordão desemboca. Ao norte a divisa começava ali, 6 seguia até Bete-Hogla e passava ao norte de Bete-Arabá. Daí subia até a pedra de Boã (Boã era filho de Rúben). 7 Depois, começando no vale da Desgraça, ia até Debir e voltava para o norte na direção de Gilgal, que fica em frente da subida de Adumim, no sul do vale. Em seguida continuava até as fontes de Semes e depois até a fonte de Rogel. 8 Daí atravessava o vale de Ben-Hinom, no sul da montanha dos jebuseus, onde fica a cidade de Jerusalém. Depois a divisa seguia até o alto da montanha que fica em frente do vale de Hinom, no lado oeste, no fim do vale dos Gigantes, ao norte. 9 Partindo do alto da montanha, ia até as fontes de Neftoa e daí até as cidades vizinhas do monte Efrom. Aí voltava na direção de Baalá (ou Quiriate-Jearim) 10 e rodeava Baalá pelo oeste até o monte Seir. Então passava pelo lado norte do monte Jearim (ou Quesalom), descia até Bete-Semes e ia além de Timna. 11 Daí a divisa seguia pelas subidas das montanhas ao norte de Ecrom, voltava até Siquerom, passava o monte Baalá, saindo em Jâmnia e terminando no mar Mediterrâneo.
12 A oeste a divisa era o litoral do mar Mediterrâneo.
Estas eram as divisas da terra das famílias da tribo de Judá.
13 Como o Senhor havia ordenado a Josué, uma parte da terra do povo de Judá foi dada a Calebe, filho de Jefoné. Josué lhe deu Hebrom, que era a cidade de Arba, o pai de Anaque. 14 Calebe expulsou dali os três filhos de Anaque, isto é, Sesai, Aimã e Talmai. 15 De lá foi atacar o povo que vivia em Debir, cidade que antes se chamava Quiriate-Sefer. 16 Calebe disse:
— Eu darei minha filha Acsa em casamento ao homem que conseguir conquistar a cidade de Quiriate-Sefer.
17 Otoniel conquistou a cidade. Ele era filho de Quenaz, o irmão de Calebe. Então Calebe lhe deu sua filha Acsa em casamento. 18 Quando Acsa foi morar com Otoniel, ela insistiu com ele que pedisse ao pai dela algumas terras. Acsa foi para o lugar onde Calebe estava, e, quando ela desceu do jumento, o seu pai perguntou:
— O que é que você quer?
19 — Eu quero um presente! — respondeu ela. — Já que o senhor me deu uma terra seca, me dê também algumas fontes de água.
Então Calebe lhe deu as fontes que ficavam nas terras altas e nas baixas.
20 As terras que as famílias da tribo de Judá receberam como sua propriedade são citadas em seguida. 21 Bem no sul, perto da divisa de Edom, elas receberam as cidades de Cabzeel, Éder, Jagur, 22 Quiná, Dimona, Adada, 23 Quedes, Azor, Itnã, 24 Zife, Telém, Bealote, 25 Hazor-Hadata, Queriote-Hezrom (ou Hazor), 26 Amã, Sema, Molada, 27 Hazar-Gada, Hesmom, Bete-Palete, 28 Hazar-Sual, Berseba, Biziotia, 29 Baalá, Iim, Ezém, 30 Eltolade, Quesil, Horma, 31 Ziclague, Madmana, Sansana, 32 Lebaote, Silim, Aim e Rimom.

63 Mas o povo de Judá não conseguiu expulsar os jebuseus que moravam em Jerusalém; até hoje eles moram ali com o povo de Judá.
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 border.
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 on the south side to Kadesh-barnea, and passed along to Hezron, and went up to Adar, and fetched a compass to Karkaa:
4 From thence it passed towards Azmon, and went out to the river of Egypt; and the limits of that border were at the sea: this shall be your south limit.
5 And the east border was the salt-sea, even to 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 towards Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward looking towards Gilgal, that is before the going up to Adummim, which is on the south side of the river: and the border passed towards the waters of En-shemesh, and the borders of it were at En-rogel:
8 And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom, to 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 to 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 to mount Seir, and passed along to 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 to the side of Ekron northward: and the border was drawn to Shicron, and passed along to mount Baalah, and went out to Jabneel; and the terminations of the border were at the sea.
12 And the west border was to 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 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 for a wife.
17 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter for a wife.
18 And it came to pass, as she came to him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field. And she lighted off her ass; and Caleb said to her, What wouldst 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.
