1 The lot for the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families was to the border of Edom, even to the wilderness of Zin southward, at the uttermost part of the south. 2 Their south border was from the uttermost part of the Salt Sea, from the bay that looks 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, went up to Addar, and turned toward Karka; 4 and it passed along to Azmon, went out at the brook of Egypt; and the border ended at the sea. This shall be your south border. 5 The east border was the Salt Sea, even to the end of the Jordan. The border of the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the end of the Jordan. 6 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 The border went up to Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that faces the ascent of Adummim, which is on the south side of the river. The border passed along to the waters of En Shemesh, and ended at En Rogel. 8 The border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom to the side of the Jebusite (also called Jerusalem) southward; and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lies before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the farthest part of the valley of Rephaim northward. 9 The border extended from the top of the mountain to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of Mount Ephron; and the border extended to Baalah (also called Kiriath Jearim); 10 and the border turned about from Baalah westward to Mount Seir, and passed along to the side of Mount Jearim (also called Chesalon) on the north, and went down to Beth Shemesh, and passed along by Timnah; 11 and the border went out to 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 The west border was to the shore of the great sea. This is the border of the children of Judah according to their families.

13 He gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh a portion among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of Yahweh to Joshua, even Kiriath Arba, named after the father of Anak (also called Hebron). 14 Caleb drove out the three sons of Anak: Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak. 15 He went up against the inhabitants of Debir: now the name of Debir before was Kiriath Sepher. 16 Caleb said, "He who strikes Kiriath Sepher, and takes it, to him I will give Achsah my daughter as wife." 17 Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife. 18 When she came, she had him ask her father for a field. She got off her donkey, and Caleb said, "What do you want?"

19 She said, "Give me a blessing. Because you have set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water."

So 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 farthest cities of the tribe of the children of Judah toward the border of Edom in the South were Kabzeel, Eder, Jagur, 22 Kinah, Dimonah, Adadah, 23 Kedesh, Hazor, Ithnan, 24 Ziph, Telem, Bealoth, 25 Hazor Hadattah, Kerioth Hezron (also called Hazor), 26 Amam, Shema, Moladah, 27 Hazar Gaddah, Heshmon, Beth Pelet, 28 Hazar Shual, Beersheba, Biziothiah, 29 Baalah, Iim, Ezem, 30 Eltolad, Chesil, Hormah, 31 Ziklag, Madmannah, Sansannah, 32 Lebaoth, Shilhim, Ain, and Rimmon.

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 af

6 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.
