2. And their south[H5045] border[H1366] was from the uttermost part[H7097] of the Salt[H4417] Sea[H3220], from the bay[H3956] that looketh[H6437] southward[H5045];
3. and it went out[H3318] southward[H5045] of the ascent[H5045] of Akrabbim[H4610], and passed[H5674] along to Zin[H6790], and went up[H5927] by the south of Kadesh-barnea[H6947], and passed[H5674] along by Hezron[H2696], and went up[H5927] to Addar[H146], and turned about[H5437] to Karka[H7173];
4. and it passed[H5674] along to Azmon[H6111], and went out[H3318] at the brook[H5158] of Egypt[H4714]; and the goings out[H8444] of the border[H1366] were at the sea[H3220]: this shall be your south[H5045] border[H1366].

12. And the west[H3220] border[H1366] was to the great[H1419] sea[H3220], and the border[H1366] thereof[H1366]. This is the border of the children[H1121] of Judah[H3063] round about[H5439] according to their families[H4940].
13. And unto Caleb[H3612] the son[H1121] of Jephunneh[H3312] he gave[H5414] a portion[H2506] among[H8432] the children[H1121] of Judah[H3063], according[H413] to the commandment[H6310] of Jehovah[H3068] to Joshua[H3091], even Kiriath-arba[H7151], which Arba[H704] was the father[H1] of Anak[H6061] (the same is Hebron[H2275]).
14. And Caleb[H3612] drove[H3423] out thence the three[H7969] sons[H1121] of Anak[H6061]: Sheshai[H8344], and Ahiman[H289], and Talmai[H8526], the children[H3211] of Anak[H6061].
15. And he went up[H5927] thence against the inhabitants[H3427] of Debir[H1688]: now the name[H8034] of Debir[H1688] beforetime[H6440] was Kiriath-sepher[H7158].
16. And Caleb[H3612] said[H559], He that smiteth[H5221] Kiriath-sepher[H7158], and taketh[H3920] it[H5414], to him will I give Achsah[H5915] my daughter[H1323] to wife[H802].
17. And Othniel[H6274] the son[H1121] of Kenaz[H7073], the brother[H251] of Caleb[H3612], took[H3920] it[H5414]: and he gave him Achsah[H5915] his daughter[H1323] to wife[H802].
18. And it came to pass[H935], when she came unto him[H5496], that she moved him to ask[H7592] of her father[H1] a field[H7704]: and she alighted from off[H6795] her ass[H2543]; and Caleb[H3612] said[H559], What wouldest thou?
19. And she said[H559], Give[H5414] me a blessing[H1293]; for that thou hast set[H5414] me in the land[H776] of the South[H5045], give[H5414] me also springs[H1543] of water[H4325]. And he gave[H5414] her the upper[H5942] springs[H1543] and the nether[H8482] springs[H1543].
