Biblia Sacra Vulgata
12 Hi sunt reges, quos percusserunt filii Israel, et possederunt terram eorum trans Jordanem ad solis ortum, a torrente Arnon usque ad montem Hermon, et omnem orientalem plagam, quae respicit solitudinem.
2 Sehon rex Amorrhaeorum, qui habitavit in Hesebon, dominatus est ab Aroer, quae sita est super ripam torrentis Arnon, et mediae partis in valle, dimidiaeque Galaad, usque ad torrentem Jaboc, qui est terminus filiorum Ammon.
3 Et a solitudine usque ad mare Ceneroth contra orientem, et usque ad mare deserti, quod est mare salsissimum, ad orientalem plagam per viam quae ducit Bethsimoth: et ab australi parte, quae subjacet Asedoth, Phasga.
4 Terminus Og regis Basan, de reliquiis Raphaim, qui habitavit in Astaroth, et in Edrai, et dominatus est in monte Hermon, et in Salecha, atque in universa Basan, usque ad terminos
5 Gessuri, et Machati, et dimidiae partis Galaad: terminos Sehon regis Hesebon.
6 Moyses famulus Domini et filii Israel percusserunt eos, tradiditque terram eorum Moyses in possessionem Rubenitis, et Gaditis, et dimidiae tribui Manasse.
7 Hi sunt reges terrae, quos percussit Josue et filii Israel trans Jordanem ad occidentalem plagam, a Baalgad in campo Libani, usque ad montem cujus pars ascendit in Seir: tradiditque eam Josue in possessionem tribubus Israel, singulis partes suas,
8 tam in montanis quam in planis atque campestribus. In Asedoth, et in solitudine, ac in meridie, Hethaeus fuit et Amorrhaeus, Chananaeus, et Pherezaeus, Hevaeus et Jebusaeus.
9 Rex Jericho unus: rex Hai, quae est ex latere Bethel, unus:
10 rex Jerusalem unus, rex Hebron unus,
11 rex Jerimoth unus, rex Lachis unus,
12 rex Eglon unus, rex Gazer unus,
13 rex Dabir unus, rex Gader unus,
14 rex Herma unus, rex Hered unus,
15 rex Lebna unus, rex Odullam unus,
16 rex Maceda unus, rex Bethel unus,
17 rex Taphua unus, rex Opher unus,
18 rex Aphec unus, rex Saron unus,
19 rex Madon unus, rex Asor unus,
20 rex Semeron unus, rex Achsaph unus,
21 rex Thenac unus, rex Mageddo unus,
22 rex Cades unus, rex Jachanan Carmeli unus,
23 rex Dor et provinciae Dor unus, rex gentium Galgal unus,
24 rex Thersa unus: omnes reges triginta unus.
13 Josue senex provectaeque aetatis erat, et dixit Dominus ad eum: Senuisti, et longaevus es, terraque latissima derelicta est, quae necdum sorte divisa est:
2 omnis videlicet Galilaea, Philisthiim, et universa Gessuri.
3 A fluvio turbido, qui irrigat AEgyptum, usque ad terminos Accaron contra aquilonem: terra Chanaan, quae in quinque regulos Philisthiim dividitur, Gazaeos, et Azotios, Ascalonitas, Gethaeos, et Accaronitas.
4 Ad meridiem vero sunt Hevaei, omnis terra Chanaan, et Maara Sidoniorum, usque Apheca et terminos Amorrhaei,
5 ejusque confinia. Libani quoque regio contra orientem, a Baalgad sub monte Hermon, donec ingrediaris Emath;
6 omnium qui habitant in monte a Libano usque ad aquas Maserephoth, universique Sidonii. Ego sum qui delebo eos a facie filiorum Israel. Veniat ergo in partem haereditatis Israel, sicut praecepi tibi.
7 Et nunc divide terram in possessionem novem tribubus, et dimidiae tribui Manasse,
8 cum qua Ruben et Gad possederunt terram, quam tradidit eis Moyses famulus Domini trans fluenta Jordanis, ad orientalem plagam.
9 Ab Aroer, quae sita est in ripa torrentis Arnon, et in vallis medio, universaque campestria Medaba, usque Dibon,
10 et cunctas civitates Sehon regis Amorrhaei, qui regnavit in Hesebon, usque ad terminos filiorum Ammon,
11 et Galaad, ac terminum Gessuri et Machati, et omnem montem Hermon, et universam Basan, usque ad Salecha,
12 omne regnum Og in Basan, qui regnavit in Astaroth et Edrai, ipse fuit de reliquiis Raphaim: percussitque eos Moyses, atque delevit.
13 Nolueruntque disperdere filii Israel Gessuri et Machati: et habitaverunt in medio Israel usque in praesentem diem.
14 Tribui autem Levi non dedit possessionem: sed sacrificia et victimae Domini Dei Israel, ipsa est ejus haereditas, sicut locutus est illi.
15 Dedit ergo Moyses possessionem tribui filiorum Ruben juxta cognationes suas.
16 Fuitque terminus eorum ab Aroer, quae sita est in ripa torrentis Arnon, et in valle ejusdem torrentis media: universam planitiem, quae ducit Medaba,
17 et Hesebon, cunctosque viculos earum, qui sunt in campestribus: Dibon quoque et Bamothbaal, et oppidum Baalmaon,
18 et Jassa, et Cedimoth, et Mephaath,
19 et Cariathaim, et Sabama, et Sarathasar in monte convallis.
20 Bethphogor et Asedoth, Phasga et Bethiesimoth,
21 et omnes urbes campestres, universaque regna Sehon regis Amorrhaei, qui regnavit in Hesebon, quem percussit Moyses cum principibus Madian: Hevaeum, et Recem, et Sur, et Hur, et Rebe duces Sehon habitatores terrae.
22 Et Balaam filium Beor ariolum occiderunt filii Israel gladio cum ceteris interfectis.
23 Factusque est terminus filiorum Ruben Jordanis fluvius. Haec est possessio Rubenitarum per cognationes suas urbium et viculorum.
24 Deditque Moyses tribui Gad et filiis ejus per cognationes suas possessionem, cujus haec divisio est.
25 Terminus Jaser, et omnes civitates Galaad, et dimidiam partem terrae filiorum Ammon, usque ad Aroer, quae est contra Rabba,
26 et ab Hesebon usque Ramoth, Masphe et Betonim: et a Manaim usque ad terminos Dabir.
27 In valle quoque Betharan, et Bethnemra, et Socoth, et Saphon reliquam partem regni Sehon regis Hesebon: hujus quoque finis, Jordanis est, usque ad extremam partem maris Cenereth trans Jordanem ad orientalem plagam.
28 Haec est possessio filiorum Gad per familias suas, civitates et villae earum.
29 Dedit et dimidiae tribui Manasse, filiisque ejus juxta cognationes suas, possessionem,
30 cujus hoc principium est: a Manaim universam Basan, et cuncta regna Og regis Basan, omnesque vicos Jair, qui sunt in Basan, sexaginta oppida:
31 et dimidiam partem Galaad, et Astaroth, et Edrai, urbes regni Og in Basan: filiis Machir, filii Manasse, dimidiae parti filiorum Machir juxta cognationes suas.
32 Hanc possessionem divisit Moyses in campestribus Moab trans Jordanem contra Jericho ad orientalem plagam.
33 Tribui autem Levi non dedit possessionem: quoniam Dominus Deus Israel ipse est possessio ejus, ut locutus est illi.
14 Hoc est quod possederunt filii Israel in terra Chanaan, quam dederunt eis Eleazar sacerdos, et Josue filius Nun, et principes familiarum per tribus Israel:
2 sorte omnia dividentes, sicut praeceperat Dominus in manu Moysi, novem tribubus, et dimidiae tribui.
3 Duabus enim tribubus, et dimidiae, dederat Moyses trans Jordanem possessionem: absque Levitis, qui nihil terrae acceperunt inter fratres suos:
4 sed in eorum successerunt locum filii Joseph in duas divisi tribus, Manasse et Ephraim: nec acceperunt Levitae aliam in terra partem, nisi urbes ad habitandum, et suburbana earum ad alenda jumenta et pecora sua.
5 Sicut praeceperat Dominus Moysi, ita fecerunt filii Israel, et diviserunt terram.
6 Accesserunt itaque filii Juda ad Josue in Galgala, locutusque est ad eum Caleb filius Jephone Cenezaeus: Nosti quid locutus sit Dominus ad Moysen hominem Dei de me et te in Cadesbarne.
7 Quadraginta annorum eram quando misit me Moyses famulus Domini de Cadesbarne, ut considerarem terram, nuntiavique ei quod mihi verum videbatur.
8 Fratres autem mei, qui ascenderant mecum, dissolverunt cor populi: et nihilominus ego secutus sum Dominum Deum meum.
9 Juravitque Moyses in die illo, dicens: Terra, quam calcavit pes tuus, erit possessio tua, et filiorum tuorum in aeternum: quia secutus es Dominum Deum meum.
10 Concessit ergo Dominus vitam mihi, sicut pollicitus est, usque in praesentem diem. Quadraginta et quinque anni sunt, ex quo locutus est Dominus verbum istud ad Moysen, quando ambulabat Israel per solitudinem: hodie octoginta quinque annorum sum,
11 sic valens ut eo valebam tempore quando ad explorandum missus sum: illius in me temporis fortitudo usque hodie perseverat, tam ad bellandum quam ad gradiendum.
12 Da ergo mihi montem istum, quem pollicitus est Dominus, te quoque audiente, in quo Enacim sunt, et urbes magnae atque munitae: si forte sit Dominus mecum, et potuero delere eos, sicut promisit mihi.
13 Benedixitque ei Josue, et tradidit ei Hebron in possessionem:
14 atque ex eo fuit Hebron Caleb filio Jephone Cenezaeo usque in praesentem diem, quia secutus est Dominum Deum Israel.
15 Nomen Hebron ante vocabatur Cariath Arbe: Adam maximus ibi inter Enacim situs est: et terra cessavit a praeliis.
15 Igitur sors filiorum Judae per cognationes suas ista fuit: a termino Edom, desertum Sin, contra meridiem, et usque ad extremam partem australis plagae.
2 Initium ejus a summitate maris salsissimi, et a lingua ejus, quae respicit meridiem.
3 Egrediturque contra ascensum Scorpionis, et pertransit in Sina: ascenditque in Cadesbarne, et pervenit in Esron, ascendens ad Addar, et circuiens Carcaa,
4 atque inde pertransiens in Asemona, et perveniens ad torrentem AEgypti: eruntque termini ejus mare magnum. Hic erit finis meridianae plagae.
5 Ab oriente vero erit initium, mare salsissimum usque ad extrema Jordanis: et ea quae respiciunt ad aquilonem, a lingua maris usque ad eumdem Jordanis fluvium.
6 Ascenditque terminus in Beth Hagla, et transit ab aquilone in Beth Araba, ascendens ad lapidem Boen filii Ruben:
7 et tendens usque ad terminos Debera de valle Achor, contra aquilonem respiciens Galgala, quae est ex adverso ascensionis Adommim, ab australi parte torrentis: transitque aquas, quae vocantur fons solis: et erunt exitus ejus ad fontem Rogel.
8 Ascenditque per convallem filii Ennom ex latere Jebusaei ad meridiem, haec est Jerusalem: et inde se erigens ad verticem montis, qui est contra Geennom ad occidentem in summitate vallis Raphaim contra aquilonem:
9 pertransitque a vertice montis usque ad fontem aquae Nephtoa: et pervenit usque ad vicos montis Ephron: inclinaturque in Baala, quae est Cariathiarim, id est, urbs silvarum.
10 Et circuit de Baala contra occidentem, usque ad montem Seir: transitque juxta latus montis Jarim ad aquilonem in Cheslon: et descendit in Bethsames, transitque in Thamna.
11 Et pervenit contra aquilonem partis Accaron ex latere: inclinaturque Sechrona, et transit montem Baala: pervenitque in Jebneel, et magni maris contra occidentem fine concluditur.
12 Hi sunt termini filiorum Juda per circuitum in cognationibus suis.
13 Caleb vero filio Jephone dedit partem in medio filiorum Juda, sicut praeceperat ei Dominus: Cariath Arbe patris Enac, ipsa est Hebron.
14 Delevitque ex ea Caleb tres filios Enac, Sesai et Ahiman et Tholmai de stirpe Enac.
15 Atque inde conscendens venit ad habitatores Dabir, quae prius vocabatur Cariath Sepher, id est, civitas litterarum.
16 Dixitque Caleb: Qui percusserit Cariath Sepher, et ceperit eam, dabo ei Axam filiam meam uxorem.
17 Cepitque eam Othoniel filius Cenez frater Caleb junior: deditque ei Axam filiam suam uxorem.
18 Quae, cum pergerent simul, suasa est a viro suo ut peteret a patre suo agrum. Suspiravitque ut sedebat in asino: cui Caleb: Quid habes? inquit.
19 At illa respondit: Da mihi benedictionem: terram australem et arentem dedisti mihi; junge et irriguam. Dedit itaque ei Caleb irriguum superius et inferius.
20 Haec est possessio tribus filiorum Juda per cognationes suas.
21 Erantque civitates ab extremis partibus filiorum Juda juxta terminos Edom a meridie: Cabseel et Eder et Jagur,
22 et Cyna et Dimona et Adada,
23 et Cades et Asor et Jethnam,
24 Ziph et Telem et Baloth,
25 Asor nova et Carioth, Hesron, haec est Asor;
26 Amam, Sama, et Molada,
27 et Asergadda et Hassemon et Bethphelet,
28 et Hasersual et Bersabee et Baziothia,
29 et Baala et Jim et Esem,
30 et Eltholad et Cesil et Harma,
31 et Siceleg et Medemena et Sensenna,
32 Lebaoth et Selim et Aen et Remon. Omnes civitates viginti novem, et villae earum.
33 In campestribus vero: Estaol et Sarea et Asena,
34 et Zanoe et AEngannim et Taphua et Enaim,
35 et Jerimoth et Adullam, Socho et Azeca,
36 et Saraim et Adithaim et Gedera et Gederothaim: urbes quatuordecim, et villae earum.
37 Sanan et Hadassa et Magdalgad,
38 Delean et Masepha et Jecthel,
39 Lachis et Bascath et Eglon,
40 Chebbon et Leheman et Cethlis,
41 et Gideroth et Bethdagon et Naama et Maceda: civitates sedecim, et villae earum.
42 Labana et Ether et Asan,
43 Jephtha et Esna et Nesib,
44 et Ceila et Achzib et Maresa: civitates novem, et villae earum.
45 Accaron cum vicis et villulis suis.
46 Ab Accaron usque ad mare: omnia quae vergunt ad Azotum et viculos ejus.
47 Azotus cum vicis et villulis suis. Gaza cum vicis et villulis suis, usque ad torrentem AEgypti, et mare magnum terminus ejus.
48 Et in monte: Samir et Jether et Socoth
49 et Danna et Cariathsenna, haec est Dabir:
50 Anab et Istemo et Anim,
51 Gosen et Olon et Gilo: civitates undecim et villae earum.
52 Arab et Ruma et Esaan,
53 et Janum et Beththaphua et Apheca,
54 Athmatha, et Cariath Arbe, haec est Hebron, et Sior: civitates novem, et villae earum.
55 Maon et Carmel et Ziph et Jota,
56 Jezrael et Jucadam et Zanoe,
57 Accain, Gabaa et Thamna: civitates decem et villae earum.
58 Halhul, et Besur, et Gedor,
59 Mareth, et Bethanoth, et Eltecon: civitates sex et villae earum.
60 Cariathbaal, haec est Cariathiarim urbs silvarum, et Arebba: civitates duae, et villae earum.
61 In deserto Betharaba, Meddin, et Sachacha,
62 et Nebsan, et civitas salis, et Engaddi: civitates sex, et villae earum.
63 Jebusaeum autem habitatorem Jerusalem non potuerunt filii Juda delere: habitavitque Jebusaeus cum filiis Juda in Jerusalem usque in praesentem diem.

2 Sihon king of the Amorites, who reigned in Heshbon.(F)
He ruled from Aroer(G) on the rim of the Arnon Gorge—from the middle of the gorge—to the Jabbok River,(H) which is the border of the Ammonites.(I) This included half of Gilead.(J) 3 He also ruled over the eastern Arabah from the Sea of Galilee[a](K) to the Sea of the Arabah (that is, the Dead Sea(L)), to Beth Jeshimoth,(M) and then southward below the slopes of Pisgah.(N)
4 And the territory of Og king of Bashan,(O) one of the last of the Rephaites,(P) who reigned in Ashtaroth(Q) and Edrei.
5 He ruled over Mount Hermon, Salekah,(R) all of Bashan(S) to the border of the people of Geshur(T) and Maakah,(U) and half of Gilead(V) to the border of Sihon king of Heshbon.
6 Moses, the servant of the Lord, and the Israelites conquered them.(W) And Moses the servant of the Lord gave their land to the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh to be their possession.(X)
7 Here is a list of the kings of the land that Joshua and the Israelites conquered on the west side of the Jordan, from Baal Gad in the Valley of Lebanon(Y) to Mount Halak, which rises toward Seir. Joshua gave their lands as an inheritance to the tribes of Israel according to their tribal divisions. 8 The lands included the hill country, the western foothills, the Arabah, the mountain slopes, the wilderness and the Negev.(Z) These were the lands of the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.

| thirty-one kings in all.(BB) |
Land Still to Be Taken
13 When Joshua had grown old,(BC) the Lord said to him, “You are now very old, and there are still very large areas of land to be taken over.
2 “This is the land that remains: all the regions of the Philistines(BD) and Geshurites,(BE) 3 from the Shihor River(BF) on the east of Egypt to the territory of Ekron(BG) on the north, all of it counted as Canaanite though held by the five Philistine rulers(BH) in Gaza, Ashdod,(BI) Ashkelon,(BJ) Gath and Ekron; the territory of the Avvites(BK) 4 on the south; all the land of the Canaanites, from Arah of the Sidonians as far as Aphek(BL) and the border of the Amorites;(BM) 5 the area of Byblos;(BN) and all Lebanon(BO) to the east, from Baal Gad below Mount Hermon(BP) to Lebo Hamath.(BQ)
6 “As for all the inhabitants of the mountain regions from Lebanon to Misrephoth Maim,(BR) that is, all the Sidonians, I myself will drive them out(BS) before the Israelites. Be sure to allocate this land to Israel for an inheritance, as I have instructed you,(BT) 7 and divide it as an inheritance(BU) among the nine tribes and half of the tribe of Manasseh.”
Division of the Land East of the Jordan
8 The other half of Manasseh,[b] the Reubenites and the Gadites had received the inheritance that Moses had given them east of the Jordan, as he, the servant of the Lord, had assigned(BV) it to them.(BW)
9 It extended from Aroer(BX) on the rim of the Arnon Gorge, and from the town in the middle of the gorge, and included the whole plateau(BY) of Medeba as far as Dibon,(BZ) 10 and all the towns of Sihon king of the Amorites, who ruled in Heshbon,(CA) out to the border of the Ammonites.(CB) 11 It also included Gilead,(CC) the territory of the people of Geshur and Maakah, all of Mount Hermon and all Bashan as far as Salekah(CD)— 12 that is, the whole kingdom of Og in Bashan,(CE) who had reigned in Ashtaroth(CF) and Edrei.(CG) (He was the last of the Rephaites.(CH)) Moses had defeated them and taken over their land.(CI) 13 But the Israelites did not drive out the people of Geshur(CJ) and Maakah,(CK) so they continue to live among the Israelites to this day.(CL)
14 But to the tribe of Levi he gave no inheritance, since the food offerings presented to the Lord, the God of Israel, are their inheritance, as he promised them.(CM)
15 This is what Moses had given to the tribe of Reuben, according to its clans:
16 The territory from Aroer(CN) on the rim of the Arnon Gorge, and from the town in the middle of the gorge, and the whole plateau past Medeba(CO) 17 to Heshbon and all its towns on the plateau,(CP) including Dibon,(CQ) Bamoth Baal,(CR) Beth Baal Meon,(CS) 18 Jahaz,(CT) Kedemoth,(CU) Mephaath,(CV) 19 Kiriathaim,(CW) Sibmah,(CX) Zereth Shahar on the hill in the valley, 20 Beth Peor,(CY) the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth Jeshimoth— 21 all the towns on the plateau(CZ) and the entire realm of Sihon king of the Amorites, who ruled at Heshbon. Moses had defeated him and the Midianite chiefs,(DA) Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur and Reba(DB)—princes allied with Sihon—who lived in that country. 22 In addition to those slain in battle, the Israelites had put to the sword Balaam son of Beor,(DC) who practiced divination.(DD) 23 The boundary of the Reubenites was the bank of the Jordan. These towns and their villages were the inheritance of the Reubenites, according to their clans.(DE)
24 This is what Moses had given to the tribe of Gad, according to its clans:
25 The territory of Jazer,(DF) all the towns of Gilead(DG) and half the Ammonite country as far as Aroer, near Rabbah;(DH) 26 and from Heshbon(DI) to Ramath Mizpah and Betonim, and from Mahanaim(DJ) to the territory of Debir;(DK) 27 and in the valley, Beth Haram, Beth Nimrah,(DL) Sukkoth(DM) and Zaphon(DN) with the rest of the realm of Sihon king of Heshbon (the east side of the Jordan, the territory up to the end of the Sea of Galilee[c](DO)). 28 These towns and their villages were the inheritance of the Gadites,(DP) according to their clans.
29 This is what Moses had given to the half-tribe of Manasseh, that is, to half the family of the descendants of Manasseh, according to its clans:
30 The territory extending from Mahanaim(DQ) and including all of Bashan,(DR) the entire realm of Og king of Bashan(DS)—all the settlements of Jair(DT) in Bashan, sixty towns, 31 half of Gilead, and Ashtaroth and Edrei (the royal cities of Og in Bashan).(DU) This was for the descendants of Makir(DV) son of Manasseh—for half of the sons of Makir, according to their clans.(DW)
32 This is the inheritance Moses had given when he was in the plains of Moab(DX) across the Jordan east of Jericho.(DY) 33 But to the tribe of Levi, Moses had given no inheritance;(DZ) the Lord, the God of Israel, is their inheritance,(EA) as he promised them.(EB)
Division of the Land West of the Jordan
14 Now these are the areas the Israelites received as an inheritance(EC) in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar(ED) the priest, Joshua son of Nun and the heads of the tribal clans of Israel(EE) allotted(EF) to them.(EG) 2 Their inheritances were assigned by lot(EH) to the nine and a half tribes,(EI) as the Lord had commanded through Moses. 3 Moses had granted the two and a half tribes their inheritance east of the Jordan(EJ) but had not granted the Levites an inheritance among the rest,(EK) 4 for Joseph’s descendants had become two tribes—Manasseh and Ephraim.(EL) The Levites received no share of the land but only towns to live in, with pasturelands for their flocks and herds.(EM) 5 So the Israelites divided the land, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.(EN)
Allotment for Caleb
6 Now the people of Judah approached Joshua at Gilgal,(EO) and Caleb son of Jephunneh(EP) the Kenizzite said to him, “You know what the Lord said to Moses the man of God(EQ) at Kadesh Barnea(ER) about you and me.(ES) 7 I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh Barnea(ET) to explore the land.(EU) And I brought him back a report according to my convictions,(EV) 8 but my fellow Israelites who went up with me made the hearts of the people melt in fear.(EW) I, however, followed the Lord my God wholeheartedly.(EX) 9 So on that day Moses swore to me, ‘The land on which your feet have walked will be your inheritance(EY) and that of your children(EZ) forever, because you have followed the Lord my God wholeheartedly.’[d]
10 “Now then, just as the Lord promised,(FA) he has kept me alive for forty-five years since the time he said this to Moses, while Israel moved(FB) about in the wilderness. So here I am today, eighty-five years old!(FC) 11 I am still as strong(FD) today as the day Moses sent me out; I’m just as vigorous(FE) to go out to battle now as I was then. 12 Now give me this hill country that the Lord promised me that day.(FF) You yourself heard then that the Anakites(FG) were there and their cities were large and fortified,(FH) but, the Lord helping me, I will drive them out just as he said.”
13 Then Joshua blessed(FI) Caleb son of Jephunneh(FJ) and gave him Hebron(FK) as his inheritance.(FL) 14 So Hebron has belonged to Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite ever since, because he followed the Lord, the God of Israel, wholeheartedly.(FM) 15 (Hebron used to be called Kiriath Arba(FN) after Arba,(FO) who was the greatest man among the Anakites.)
Then the land had rest(FP) from war.
Allotment for Judah(FQ)
15 The allotment for the tribe of Judah, according to its clans, extended down to the territory of Edom,(FR) to the Desert of Zin(FS) in the extreme south.(FT)
2 Their southern boundary started from the bay at the southern end of the Dead Sea,(FU) 3 crossed south of Scorpion Pass,(FV) continued on to Zin and went over to the south of Kadesh Barnea.(FW) Then it ran past Hezron up to Addar and curved around to Karka. 4 It then passed along to Azmon(FX) and joined the Wadi of Egypt,(FY) ending at the Mediterranean Sea. This is their[e] southern boundary.
5 The eastern boundary(FZ) is the Dead Sea(GA) as far as the mouth of the Jordan.
The northern boundary(GB) started from the bay of the sea at the mouth of the Jordan, 6 went up to Beth Hoglah(GC) and continued north of Beth Arabah(GD) to the Stone of Bohan(GE) son of Reuben. 7 The boundary then went up to Debir(GF) from the Valley of Achor(GG) and turned north to Gilgal,(GH) which faces the Pass of Adummim south of the gorge. It continued along to the waters of En Shemesh(GI) and came out at En Rogel.(GJ) 8 Then it ran up the Valley of Ben Hinnom(GK) along the southern slope of the Jebusite(GL) city (that is, Jerusalem(GM)). From there it climbed to the top of the hill west of the Hinnom Valley(GN) at the northern end of the Valley of Rephaim.(GO) 9 From the hilltop the boundary headed toward the spring of the waters of Nephtoah,(GP) came out at the towns of Mount Ephron and went down toward Baalah(GQ) (that is, Kiriath Jearim).(GR) 10 Then it curved westward from Baalah(GS) to Mount Seir,(GT) ran along the northern slope of Mount Jearim (that is, Kesalon), continued down to Beth Shemesh(GU) and crossed to Timnah.(GV) 11 It went to the northern slope of Ekron,(GW) turned toward Shikkeron, passed along to Mount Baalah(GX) and reached Jabneel.(GY) The boundary ended at the sea.
12 The western boundary is the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea.(GZ)
These are the boundaries around the people of Judah by their clans.
13 In accordance with the Lord’s command to him, Joshua gave to Caleb(HA) son of Jephunneh a portion in Judah—Kiriath Arba(HB), that is, Hebron.(HC) (Arba was the forefather of Anak.)(HD) 14 From Hebron Caleb drove out the three Anakites(HE)—Sheshai, Ahiman and Talmai,(HF) the sons of Anak.(HG) 15 From there he marched against the people living in Debir (formerly called Kiriath Sepher). 16 And Caleb said, “I will give my daughter Aksah(HH) in marriage to the man who attacks and captures Kiriath Sepher.” 17 Othniel(HI) son of Kenaz, Caleb’s brother, took it; so Caleb gave his daughter Aksah to him in marriage.
18 One day when she came to Othniel, she urged him[f] to ask her father for a field. When she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What can I do for you?”
19 She replied, “Do me a special favor. Since you have given me land in the Negev,(HJ) give me also springs of water.” So Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs.(HK)
