1The allotment for the tribe of the people of Judah according to their clans reached southward to the boundary of Edom, to the wilderness of Zin at the farthest south. (民33:36; 民34:3)2And their south boundary ran from the end of the Salt Sea, from the bay that faces southward. (书15:1)3It goes out southward of the ascent of Akrabbim, passes along to Zin, and goes up south of Kadesh-barnea, along by Hezron, up to Addar, turns about to Karka, (民34:4; 士1:36)4passes along to Azmon, goes out by the Brook of Egypt, and comes to its end at the sea. This shall be your south boundary. (民34:5; 书13:3; 书15:47)5And the east boundary is the Salt Sea, to the mouth of the Jordan. And the boundary on the north side runs from the bay of the sea at the mouth of the Jordan. (书15:1)6And the boundary goes up to Beth-hoglah and passes along north of Beth-arabah. And the boundary goes up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben. (书18:17; 书18:18; 书18:19; 书18:21; 书18:22)7And the boundary goes up to Debir from the Valley of Achor, and so northward, turning toward Gilgal, which is opposite the ascent of Adummim, which is on the south side of the valley. And the boundary passes along to the waters of En-shemesh and ends at En-rogel. (书7:26; 书18:16; 书18:17; 撒下17:17; 王上1:9)8Then the boundary goes up by the Valley of the Son of Hinnom at the southern shoulder of the Jebusite (that is, Jerusalem). And the boundary goes up to the top of the mountain that lies over against the Valley of Hinnom, on the west, at the northern end of the Valley of Rephaim. (书12:4; 书15:63; 书18:16; 书18:28; 士19:10; 王下23:10; 代上11:4)9Then the boundary extends from the top of the mountain to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah, and from there to the cities of Mount Ephron. Then the boundary bends around to Baalah (that is, Kiriath-jearim). (书15:60; 书18:15; 代上13:6)10And the boundary circles west of Baalah to Mount Seir, passes along to the northern shoulder of Mount Jearim (that is, Chesalon), and goes down to Beth-shemesh and passes along by Timnah. (创38:12; 士14:1; 撒上6:9; 撒上6:12)11The boundary goes out to the shoulder of the hill north of Ekron, then the boundary bends around to Shikkeron and passes along to Mount Baalah and goes out to Jabneel. Then the boundary comes to an end at the sea. (书13:3; 书15:9)12And the west boundary was the Great Sea with its coastline. This is the boundary around the people of Judah according to their clans. (民34:6; 书15:47; 书23:4; 结47:20)13According to the commandment of the Lord to Joshua, he gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh a portion among the people of Judah, Kiriath-arba, that is, Hebron (Arba was the father of Anak). (书14:13; 书15:54)14And Caleb drove out from there the three sons of Anak, Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai, the descendants of Anak. (民13:22; 士1:10; 士1:20)15And he went up from there against the inhabitants of Debir. Now the name of Debir formerly was Kiriath-sepher. (书15:49; 士1:11)16And Caleb said, “Whoever strikes Kiriath-sepher and captures it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter as wife.”17And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, captured it. And he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife. (书14:6; 书14:13; 士1:13)18When she came to him, she urged him to ask her father for a field. And she got off her donkey, and Caleb said to her, “What do you want?”19She said to him, “Give me a blessing. Since you have given me the land of the Negeb, give me also springs of water.” And he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.20This is the inheritance of the tribe of the people of Judah according to their clans.21The cities belonging to the tribe of the people of Judah in the extreme south, toward the boundary of Edom, were Kabzeel, Eder, Jagur, (创35:21)22Kinah, Dimonah, Adadah,23Kedesh, Hazor, Ithnan,24Ziph, Telem, Bealoth, (撒上23:14; 撒上23:19; 撒上23:24; 撒上26:1)25Hazor-hadattah, Kerioth-hezron (that is, Hazor),26Amam, Shema, Moladah,27Hazar-gaddah, Heshmon, Beth-pelet,28Hazar-shual, Beersheba, Biziothiah, (创21:31; 创26:23; 创26:33)29Baalah, Iim, Ezem,30Eltolad, Chesil, Hormah,31Ziklag, Madmannah, Sansannah, (撒上27:6; 撒上30:1)32Lebaoth, Shilhim, Ain, and Rimmon: in all, twenty-nine cities with their villages.33And in the lowland, Eshtaol, Zorah, Ashnah, (民13:23)34Zanoah, En-gannim, Tappuah, Enam,35Jarmuth, Adullam, Socoh, Azekah, (书10:3; 撒上17:1; 撒上22:1)36Shaaraim, Adithaim, Gederah, Gederothaim: fourteen cities with their villages.37Zenan, Hadashah, Migdal-gad,38Dilean, Mizpeh, Joktheel,39Lachish, Bozkath, Eglon, (书10:3; 书10:31; 书10:36)40Cabbon, Lahmam, Chitlish,41Gederoth, Beth-dagon, Naamah, and Makkedah: sixteen cities with their villages.
