1 As terras distribuídas à tribo de Judá, clã por clã, estendiam-se para o sul até a fronteira com Edom, até o deserto de Zim, no extremo sul.
2 Sua fronteira sul começava na ponta de terra do extremo sul do mar Salgado,
3 passava pelo sul da subida de Acrabim, prosseguia até Zim e daí até o sul de Cades-Barnéia. Depois passava por Hezrom, indo até Adar e fazia uma curva em direção a Carca.
4 Dali continuava até Azmom, indo até o ribeiro do Egito e terminando no mar. Essa é a fronteira sul deles.
5 A fronteira oriental é o mar Salgado, até a foz do Jordão. A fronteira norte começava na enseada, na foz do Jordão,
6 subia até Bete-Hogla e passava ao norte de Bete-Arabá, até a Pedra de Boã, filho de Rúben.
7 A fronteira subia então do vale de Acor até Debir, e virava para o norte, na direção de Gilgal, que fica defronte da subida de Adumim, ao sul do ribeiro. Passava pelas águas de En-Semes, indo até En-Rogel.
8 Depois subia pelo vale de Ben-Hinom, ao longo da encosta sul da cidade dos jebuseus, isto é, Jerusalém. Dali subia até o alto da montanha, a oeste do vale de Hinom, no lado norte do vale de Refaim.
9 Do alto da montanha a fronteira prosseguia para a fonte de Neftoa, ia para as cidades do monte Efrom e descia na direção de Baalá, que é Quiriate-Jearim.
10 De Baalá fazia uma curva em direção ao oeste, até o monte Seir, prosseguia pela encosta norte do monte Jearim, isto é Quesalom; em seguida continuava descendo até Bete-Semes e passava por Timna.
11 Depois ia para a encosta norte de Ecrom, virava na direção de Sicrom, continuava até o monte Baalá e chegava a Jabneel, terminando no mar.
12 A fronteira ocidental era o litoral do mar Grande. Eram essas as fronteiras que demarcavam Judá por todos os lados, de acordo com os seus clãs.
13 Conforme a ordem dada pelo Senhor, Josué deu a Calebe, filho de Jefoné, uma porção de terra em Judá, que foi Quiriate-Arba, isto é, Hebrom. Arba era antepassado de Enaque.
14 Calebe expulsou de Hebrom os três enaquins: Sesai, Aimã e Talmai, descendentes de Enaque.
15 Dali avançou contra o povo de Debir, anteriormente chamada Quiriate-Sefer.
16 E Calebe disse: "Darei minha filha Acsa por mulher ao homem que atacar e conquistar Quiriate-Sefer".
17 Otoniel, filho de Quenaz, irmão de Calebe, a conquistou; e Calebe lhe deu sua filha Acsa por mulher.
18 Quando Acsa foi viver com Otoniel, ela o pressionou para que pedisse um campo ao pai dela. Assim que ela desceu do jumento, perguntou-lhe Calebe: "O que você quer? "
19 "Quero um presente", respondeu ela. "Já que me deu terras no Neguebe, dê-me também fontes de água. " Então Calebe lhe deu as fontes superiores e as inferiores.
20 Esta é a herança da tribo de Judá, clã por clã:

1 And the lot for the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families was unto the border of Edom, even to the wilderness of Zin southward, at the uttermost part of the south. 2 And their south border was from the uttermost part of the Salt Sea, from the bay that looketh southward; 3 and it went out southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and went up by the south of Kadesh-barnea, and passed along by Hezron, and went up to Addar, and turned about to Karka; 4 and it passed along to Azmon, and went out at the brook of Egypt; and the goings out of the border were at the sea: this shall be your south border. 5 And the east border was the Salt Sea, even unto the end of the Jordan. And the border of the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the end of the Jordan; 6 and the border went up to Beth-hoglah, 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 to Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that is over against the ascent of Adummim, which is on the south side of the river; and the border passed along to 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 side of the Jebusite southward (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 uttermost part of the vale of Rephaim northward; 9 and the border extended from the top of the mountain unto the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of mount Ephron; and the border extended to Baalah (the same is Kiriath-jearim); 10 and the border turned about from Baalah westward unto mount Seir, and passed along unto the side of mount Jearim on the north (the same is Chesalon), and went down to Beth-shemesh, and passed along by Timnah; 11 and the border went out unto the side of Ekron northward; and the border extended to Shikkeron, and passed along to mount Baalah, and went out at Jabneel; and the goings out of the border were at the sea. 12 And the west border was to the great sea, and the border thereof. This is the border of the children of Judah round about according to their families.
13 And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a portion among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of Jehovah to Joshua, even Kiriath-arba, which Arba was the father of Anak (the same is Hebron). 14 And Caleb drove out thence the three sons of Anak: Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak. 15 And he went up thence against the inhabitants of Debir: now the name of Debir beforetime was Kiriath-sepher. 16 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kiriath-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, when she came unto him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she alighted from off her ass; and Caleb said, What wouldest thou? 19 And she said, Give me a blessing; for that thou hast set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs and the nether springs.
