This then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Yehuda by their families; to the border of Edom the wilderness of Żin towards the Negev in the far south.

And their south border was from the far shore of the salt sea, from the bay that turns southwards:

and it went out to the south side to Ma῾ale-῾aqrabbim, and passed along to Żin, and ascended up from the south to Qadesh-barnea, and passed along to Ḥeżron, and went up to Addar, and came round to Qarqa:

from there it passed toward ῾Ażmon, and went out to the wadi of Miżrayim; and the terminations of that border were at the sea: this shall be your southern border.

And the east border was the salt sea, even to the end of the Yarden. And their border in the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the extremity of the Yarden.

And the border went up to Bet-Ḥogla, and passed along by the north of Bet-῾arava; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Re᾽uven:

and the border went up towards Devir from the valley of ῾Akhor, and so northward, turning towards Gilgal, which is opposite the ascent to Adummim, which is on the south side of the river: and the border passed toward the waters of ῾En-shemesh, and its terminations were at ῾En-rogel:

and the border went up by the valley of the Ben-hinnom to the south side of the Yevusi; that is Yerushalayim: 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 Refa᾽im northwards:

and the border was drawn from the top of the hill to the fountain of the water of Neftoaĥ, and went out to the cities of mount ῾Efron; and the border was drawn to Ba῾ala, which is Qiryat-ye῾arim.

And the border came around from Ba῾al westward to mount Se῾ir and passed along to the spur of mount Ye῾arim, which is Kesalon, on the north side, and went down to Bet-shemesh, and passed on to Timna:

and the border went out to the side of ῾Eqron northward: and the border was drawn to Shikron, and passed along to mount Ba῾ala, and went out to Yavne᾽el; and the terminations of the border were at the sea.

And as for the west border, the great sea was the border. This is the border of the children of Yehuda round about according to their families.

And to Kalev son of Yefunne he gave a part among the children of Yehuda, according to the commandment of the Lord to Yehoshua, the city of Arba the father of the ῾Anaq, which city is Ḥevron.

And Kalev drove out from there the three sons of the ῾Anaq, Sheshay and Aĥiman, and Talmay, the children of the ῾Anaq.

And he went up from there to the inhabitants of Devir: and the name of Devir before was Qiryat-sefer.

And Kalev said, He that smites Qiryat-sefer and takes it, to him will I give ῾Akhsa my daughter to wife.

And ῾Otni᾽el the son of Qenaz, the brother of Kalev, took it: and he gave him ῾Akhsa his daughter to wife.

And it came to pass, when she arrived, that she enticed him to ask of her father a field: and she came down from her ass; and Kalev said to her, What wouldst thou have?

And she answered, give me a blessing; for thou hast given me the land of the Negev: give me also pools of water. And he gave her the upper pools, and the lower pools.

This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Yehuda according to their families.
