1 Juudan jälkeläisten sukukunta, heidän sukunsa, saivat arpaosansa etelästä, Edomin rajaan ja Siinin erämaahan päin, etäisintä etelää myöten.

2 Heidän eteläinen rajansa alkaa Suolameren päästä, sen eteläisimmästä pohjukasta,

3 jatkuu Skorpionisolan eteläpuolitse, kulkee Siiniin, nousee Kaades-Barnean eteläpuolitse, kulkee Hesroniin, nousee Addariin ja kääntyy Karkaan päin.

4 Edelleen se kulkee Asmoniin ja jatkuu Egyptin puroon; sitten raja päättyy mereen. Tämä olkoon teidän eteläinen rajanne.

5 Itäisenä rajana on Suolameri Jordanin suuhun saakka. Pohjoinen raja alkaa siitä meren pohjukasta, jossa on Jordanin suu.

6 Sieltä raja nousee Beet-Hoglaan ja kulkee Beet-Araban pohjoispuolitse; edelleen raja nousee Boohanin, Ruubenin pojan, kiveen.

7 Sitten raja nousee Debiriin Aakorin laaksosta ja kääntyy pohjoiseen päin Gilgalia kohti, joka on vastapäätä puron eteläpuolella olevaa Adummimin solaa; sitten raja kulkee Een-Semeksen veteen ja päättyy Roogelin lähteeseen.

8 Edelleen raja nousee Ben-Hinnomin laaksoon, Jebusilaiskukkulan, se on Jerusalemin, eteläpuolitse. Sitten raja nousee sen vuoren laelle, joka on vastapäätä Hinnomin laaksoa, lännessä päin, Refaimin tasangon pohjoisessa laidassa.

9 Tämän vuoren laelta raja kaartuu Neftoahin veden lähteelle ja jatkuu Efronin vuoren kaupunkeihin, ja sitten raja kaartuu Baalaan, se on Kirjat-Jearimiin.

10 Baalasta raja kääntyy länteen päin Seirin vuoreen, kulkee Jearimin vuoren kukkulan, se on Kesalonin, pohjoispuolitse, laskeutuu Beet-Semekseen ja kulkee sitten Timnaan.

11 Edelleen raja jatkuu Ekronin kukkulaan, pohjoiseen päin; sitten raja kaartuu Sikkeroniin, kulkee Baala-vuoreen ja jatkuu Jabneeliin; sitten raja päättyy mereen.

12 Ja läntisenä rajana on Suuri meri; se on rajana. Nämä ovat Juudan jälkeläisten, heidän sukukuntiensa, rajat yltympäri.

13 Mutta Kaalebille, Jefunnen pojalle, Joosua antoi, niinkuin Herra oli häntä käskenyt, osuuden Juudan jälkeläisten keskuudessa, Kirjat-Arban, anakilaisten isän Arban kaupungin, se on Hebronin.

14 Ja Kaaleb karkoitti sieltä kolme anakilaista, Anakin jälkeläiset Seesain, Ahimanin ja Talmain,

15 ja lähti sieltä Debirin asukkaita vastaan; mutta Debirin nimi oli muinoin Kirjat-Seefer.

17 Niin Otniel, Kenaan, Kaalebin veljen, poika, valloitti sen; ja hän antoi tälle tyttärensä Aksan vaimoksi.

20 Tämä on Juudan jälkeläisten sukukunnan, heidän sukujensa, perintöosa.

63 Mutta jebusilaisia, jotka asuivat Jerusalemissa, eivät Juudan jälkeläiset kyenneet karkoittamaan, ja niin jebusilaiset jäivät asumaan Juudan jälkeläisten sekaan, Jerusalemiin, aina tähän päivään asti.

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.

20 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families.

45 Ekron, with its towns and its villages; 46 from Ekron even unto the sea, all that were by the side of Ashdod, with their villages.

47 Ashdod, its towns and its villages; Gaza, its towns and its villages; unto the brook of Egypt, and the great sea, and the border thereof.

48 And in the hill-country, Shamir, and Jattir, and Socoh, 49 and Dannah, and Kiriath-sannah (the same 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 Eshan, 53 and Janim, and Beth-tappuah, and Aphekah, 54 and Humtah, and Kiriath-arba (the same is Hebron), and Zior; nine cities with their villages.

55 Maon, Carmel, and Ziph, and Jutah, 56 and Jezreel, and Jokdeam, and Zanoah, 57 Kain, 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.

63 And 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.
