and go up from the south to Cades Barne; and go out to Asoron, and proceed
up to Sarada, and go out by the way that is west of Cades.
15:4 And they go out to Selmona, and issue at the valley of Egypt; and the

15:7 And the borders continue on to the fourth part of the valley of Achor,

15:14 And Chaleb the son of Jephone destroyed thence the three sons of Enac,
Susi, and Tholami, and Achima.
15:15 And Chaleb went up thence to the inhabitants of Dabir; and the name of
Dabir before was the city of Letters.
15:16 And Chaleb said, Whosoever shall take and destroy the city of Letters,
and master it, to him will I give my daughter Ascha to wife.
15:17 And Gothoniel the son of Chenez the brother of Chaleb took it; and he
gave him Ascha his daughter to wife.
15:18 And it came to pass as she went out that she counseled him, saying, I
will ask of my father a field; and she cried from off her ass; and Chaleb
said to her, What is it?
15:19 And she said to him, Give me a blessing, for thou hast set me in the
land of Nageb; give me Botthanis: and he gave her Gonaethla the upper, and
Gonaethla the lower.

15:1 This then was the lot of the tribe of
the children of Judah by their families; even to the border of Edom the
wilderness of Zin southward was the uttermost part of the south coast.
15:2 And their south border was from the shore of the salt sea, from the bay
that looketh southward:
15:3 And it went out to the south side to Maalehacrabbim, and passed along
to Zin, and ascended up on the south side unto Kadeshbarnea, and passed
along to Hezron, and went up to Adar, and fetched a compass to Karkaa:

15:13 And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a part among the children
of Judah, according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua, even the city
of Arba the father of Anak, which city is Hebron.
15:14 And Caleb drove thence the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman,
and Talmai, the children of Anak.
15:15 And he went up thence to the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of
Debir before was Kirjathsepher.
15:16 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjathsepher, and taketh it, to him
will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.
15:17 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he
gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.
15:18 And it came to pass, as she came unto him, that she moved him to ask
of her father a field: and she lighted off her ass; and Caleb said unto her,
What wouldest thou?
15:19 Who answered, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a south land;
give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs, and the
nether springs.
