1 As terras distribuídas por sorteio aos clãs da tribo de Judá se estendiam para o sul, até a divisa com Edom, e chegavam ao deserto de Zim, no extremo sul:

2 A divisa ao sul começava na extremidade sul do mar Morto,*15.2 Em hebraico, mar Salgado; também em 15.5. 3 seguia para o sul pela ladeira do Escorpião,*15.3 Ou ladeira de Acrabim. passando pelo deserto de Zim e prosseguindo até Hezrom, ao sul de Cades-Barneia. Então subia até Adar e fazia uma curva em direção a Carca. 4 Dali passava por Azmom, continuava até o ribeiro do Egito e seguia até o mar Mediterrâneo.*15.4a Em hebraico, mar; também em 15.11. Essa era a divisa ao sul deles.*15.4b Em hebraico, de vocês.

5 A divisa a leste se estendia ao longo do mar Morto até a foz do rio Jordão.

A divisa ao norte começava na extremidade onde o Jordão deságua no mar Morto, 6 subia dali para Bete-Hogla e continuava ao norte de Bete-Arabá, até a Pedra de Boã (Boã era filho de Rúben). 7 A partir desse ponto, passava pelo vale de Acor até Debir, fazendo uma curva para o norte, em direção a Gilgal, que ficava de frente ao desfiladeiro de Adumim, do lado sul do vale. Dali a divisa se estendia para as águas de En-Semes, até En-Rogel. 8 Depois passava pelo vale de Ben-Hinom, pela encosta sul dos jebuseus, onde fica a cidade de Jerusalém. Em seguida estendia-se para o oeste, até o alto do monte acima do vale de Hinom, e continuava até a extremidade norte do vale de Refaim. 9 A divisa prosseguia do alto do monte para a fonte nas águas de Neftoa,*15.9 Ou fonte de Me-Neftoa. até as cidades do monte Efrom. Então fazia uma curva em direção a Baalá (isto é, Quiriate-Jearim). 10 Rodeava Baalá em direção ao oeste, até o monte Seir, passava pela cidade de Quesalom, na encosta norte do monte Jearim, descia a Bete-Semes e passava por Timna. 11 Depois a divisa continuava até a encosta do monte ao norte de Ecrom, onde fazia uma curva em direção a Sicrom e o monte Baalá. Passava por Jabneel e terminava no mar Mediterrâneo.

12 A divisa ocidental era o litoral do mar Mediterrâneo.*15.12 Em hebraico, mar Grande; também em 15.47.

Essas são as divisas dos clãs da tribo de Judá.

13 Por ordem do Senhor, Josué designou uma porção no meio do território de Judá para Calebe, filho de Jefoné. Calebe recebeu a cidade de Quiriate-Arba (isto é, Hebrom), assim chamada por causa de Arba, um antepassado de Enaque. 14 Calebe expulsou três grupos de enaquins: os descendentes de Sesai, de Aimã e de Talmai, filhos de Enaque.

15 Dali ele partiu para lutar contra os habitantes da cidade de Debir (antes chamada de Quiriate-Sefer). 16 Calebe disse: "Darei minha filha Acsa em casamento a quem atacar e tomar Quiriate-Sefer". 17 Otoniel, filho de Quenaz, irmão de Calebe, tomou a cidade, e Calebe lhe deu Acsa como esposa.

18 Quando Acsa se casou com Otoniel, ela insistiu para que ele*15.18 Alguns manuscritos gregos trazem ele insistiu para que ela. pedisse um campo ao pai dela. Assim que ela desceu do jumento, Calebe lhe perguntou: "O que você quer?".

19 Ela respondeu: "Quero mais um presente. O senhor me deu terras no deserto do Neguebe; agora, peço que também me dê fontes de água". Então Calebe lhe deu as fontes superiores e as fontes inferiores.

20 Esta foi a herança designada aos clãs da tribo de Judá:

21 As cidades de Judá situadas ao longo da divisa com Edom, no extremo sul, eram: Cabzeel, Éder, Jagur, 22 Quiná, Dimona, Adada, 23 Quedes, Hazor, Itnã, 24 Zife, Telém, Bealote, 25 Hazor-Hadata, Queriote-Hezrom (isto é, Hazor), 26 Amã, Sema, Moladá, 27 Hazar-Gada, Hesmom, Bete-Pelete, 28 Hazar-Sual, Berseba, Biziotiá, 29 Baalá, Iim, Azém, 30 Eltolade, Quesil, Hormá, 31 Ziclague, Madmana, Sansana, 32 Lebaote, Silim, Aim e Rimom; ao todo, 29 cidades com os povoados ao redor.

33 As seguintes cidades situadas nas colinas do oeste*15.33 Em hebraico, na Sefelá. também foram entregues a Judá: Estaol, Zorá, Asná, 34 Zanoa, En-Ganim, Tapua, Enã, 35 Jarmute, Adulão, Socó, Azeca, 36 Saaraim, Aditaim, Gederá e Gederotaim; catorze cidades com os povoados ao redor.

37 Também foram incluídas: Zenã, Hadasa, Migdal-Gade, 38 Dileã, Mispá, Jocteel, 39 Laquis, Bozcate, Eglom, 40 Cabom, Laamás, Quitlis, 41 Gederote, Bete-Dagom, Naamá e Maquedá; dezesseis cidades com os povoados ao redor.

42 Além dessas, também foram entregues: Libna, Eter, Asã, 43 Iftá, Asná, Nezibe, 44 Queila, Aczibe e Maressa; nove cidades com os povoados ao redor.

45 O território da tribo de Judá abrangia, ainda, Ecrom com os assentamentos e povoados ao redor. 46 De Ecrom, a divisa se estendia para o oeste, e incluía as cidades perto de Asdode, com os povoados ao redor. 47 Também incluía Asdode, com os assentamentos e povoados ao redor, e Gaza, com os assentamentos e povoados ao redor, até o ribeiro do Egito, e ao longo do litoral do mar Mediterrâneo.

48 Judá também recebeu estas cidades na região montanhosa: Samir, Jatir, Socó, 49 Daná, Quiriate-Sana (isto é, Debir), 50 Anabe, Estemo, Anim, 51 Gósen, Holom e Gilo; onze cidades com os povoados ao redor.

52 Foram incluídas ainda: Arabe, Dumá, Esã, 53 Janim, Bete-Tapua, Afeca, 54 Hunta, Quiriate-Arba (isto é, Hebrom), e Zior; nove cidades com os povoados ao seu redor.

55 Além destas, também foram entregues: Maom, Carmelo, Zife, Jutá, 56 Jezreel, Jocdeão, Zanoa, 57 Caim, Gibeá e Timna; dez cidades com os povoados ao redor.

58 E ainda: Halul, Bete-Zur, Gedor, 59 Maarate, Bete-Anote e Eltecom; seis cidades com os povoados ao redor.

60 Também: Quiriate-Baal (isto é, Quiriate-Jearim), e Rabá; duas cidades com os povoados ao redor.

61 No deserto ficavam: Bete-Arabá, Midim, Secacá, 62 Nibsã, a Cidade do Sal e En-Gedi; seis cidades com os povoados ao redor.

63 Contudo, a tribo de Judá não conseguiu expulsar os jebuseus, que habitavam em Jerusalém, de modo que os jebuseus vivem até hoje no meio 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 coast. 2 And their south border was from the shore of the salt sea, from the bay that looketh southward:*15.2 bay: Heb. tongue 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:*15.3 Maaleh-acrabbim: or, the going up to Acrabbim 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.*15.13 the city…: or, Kirjath-arba 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. 21 And the uttermost cities of the tribe of the children of Judah toward the coast of Edom southward 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, and Hezron, which is Hazor, 26 Amam, and Shema, and Moladah, 27 And Hazar-gaddah, and Heshmon, and Beth-palet, 28 And Hazar-shual, and Beer-sheba, and Bizjothjah, 29 Baalah, and Iim, and Azem, 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 cities are twenty and nine, with their villages: 33 And in the valley, Eshtaol, and Zoreah, and Ashnah, 34 And Zanoah, and En-gannim, Tappuah, and Enam, 35 Jarmuth, and Adullam, Socoh, and Azekah, 36 And Sharaim, and Adithaim, and Gederah, and Gederothaim; fourteen cities with their villages:*15.36 and Gederothaim: or, or Gederothaim 37 Zenan, and Hadashah, and Migdal-gad, 38 And Dilean, and Mizpeh, and Joktheel, 39 Lachish, and Bozkath, and Eglon, 40 And Cabbon, and Lahmam, and Kithlish, 41 And Gederoth, Beth-dagon, and Naamah, and Makkedah; sixteen cities with their villages: 42 Libnah, and Ether, and Ashan, 43 And Jiphtah, and Ashnah, and Nezib, 44 And Keilah, and Achzib, and Mareshah; nine cities with their villages: 45 Ekron, with her towns and her villages: 46 From Ekron even unto the sea, all that lay near Ashdod, with their villages:*15.46 near: Heb. by the place of 47 Ashdod with her towns and her villages, Gaza with her towns and her villages, unto the river of Egypt, and the great sea, and the border thereof:

48 And in the mountains, Shamir, and Jattir, and Socoh, 49 And Dannah, and Kirjath-sannah, which is Debir, 50 And Anab, and Eshtemoh, and Anim, 51 And Goshen, and Holon, and Giloh; eleven cities with their villages: 52 Arab, and Dumah, and Eshean, 53 And Janum, and Beth-tappuah, and Aphekah,*15.53 Janum: or, Janus 54 And Humtah, and Kirjath-arba, which is Hebron, and Zior; nine cities with their villages: 55 Maon, Carmel, and Ziph, and Juttah, 56 And Jezreel, and Jokdeam, and Zanoah, 57 Cain, Gibeah, and Timnah; ten cities with their villages: 58 Halhul, Beth-zur, and Gedor, 59 And Maarath, and Beth-anoth, and Eltekon; six cities with their villages: 60 Kirjath-baal, which is Kirjath-jearim, and Rabbah; two cities with their villages: 61 In the wilderness, Beth-arabah, Middin, and Secacah, 62 And Nibshan, and the city of Salt, and En-gedi; six cities with their villages.

63 As for the Jebusites the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children of Judah could not drive them out: but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem unto this day.
