King James Version, Updated™

(1) This then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah by their families; to the border of Edom to the wilderness of Zin southward to the uttermost part of the south coast.

(2) And their south border was from the shore of the salt sea, from the bay that looks southward.

(3) It went out to the south side to Maalehacrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and ascended up on the south side to Kadeshbarnea, and passed along to Hezron, and went up to Adar, and fetched a compass to Karkaa.

(4) From there it passed toward Azmon, and went out to the river of Egypt; and the border went out to the sea; this shall be YOUR south coast.

(5) The east border was the salt sea, to the end of the Jordan. And their border in the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the uttermost part of the Jordan.

(6) And the border went up to Bethhogla, and passed along by the north of Betharabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.

(7) The border went up toward Debir from the valley of Achor, and northward, toward Gilgal, that is before the ascent to Adummim, which is on the south side of the river; and the border passed toward the waters of Enshemesh, and the extremity of it was at Enrogel.

(8) And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom to the south side of the Jebusite, that is Jerusalem; and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lies before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the end of the valley of the giants northward.

(9) The border was drawn from the top of the hill to 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 Kirjathjearim.

(10) And the border turned from Baalah westward to mount Seir, and passed along to the side of mount Jearim, which is Chesalon, on the north side, and went down to Bethshemesh, and passed on to Timnah.

(11) The border went out to the side of Ekron northward; and the border was drawn to Shicron, and passed along to mount Baalah, and went out to Jabneel; and the extremity of the border was at the sea.

(12) And the west border was to the great sea, and the coast of it. This is the border around of the children of Judah according to their families.

(13) To Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a portion among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua, that is the city of Arba the father of Anak, the city is Hebron.

(14) And Caleb drove out of there the three sons of Anak: Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.

(15) And he went up there against the inhabitants of Debir, and the name of Debir was formerly Kirjathsepher.

(16) And Caleb said, "He who attacks Kirjathsepher, and takes it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to be his wife."

(17) Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it, and he gave him Achsah his daughter to be his wife.

(18) And it came to pass, when she came to him, that she persuaded him to ask her father for a field, and she got off her donkey, and Caleb said to her, "What do you want?"

(19) She answered, "Give me a blessing; for you have given me the south land, 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.
