Joshua 15 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

Jos 15:1The lot for the tribe of the children of Yehudah according to their families was to the border of Edom, even to the wilderness of Tzin southward, at the uttermost part of the south.
Jos 15:2Their south border was from the uttermost part of the Salt Sea, from the bay that looks southward;
Jos 15:3and it went out southward of the ascent of `Akrabbim, and passed along to Tzin, and went up by the south of Kadesh-Barnea, and passed along by Hetzron, and went up to Addar, and turned about to Karka;
Jos 15:4and it passed along to `Atzmon, and went out at the brook of Mitzrayim; and the goings out of the border were at the sea: this shall be your south border.
Jos 15:5The east border was the Salt Sea, even to the end of the Yarden. The border of the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the end of the Yarden;
Jos 15:6and the border went up to Beit-Hoglah, and passed along by the north of Beit-Ha`aravah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Re'uven;
Jos 15:7and the border went up to Devir from the valley of `Akhor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that is over against the ascent of Adummim, which is on the south side of the river; and the border passed along to the waters of `En-Shemesh, and the goings out of it were at `En-Rogel;
Jos 15:8and the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom to the side of the Yevusi southward (the same 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 uttermost part of the valley of Refa'im northward;
Jos 15:9and the border extended from the top of the mountain to the spring of the waters of Nefto'ach, and went out to the cities of Mount `Efron; and the border extended to Ba`alah (the same is Kiryat-Ye`arim);
Jos 15:10and the border turned about from Ba`alah westward to Mount Se`ir, and passed along to the side of Mount Ye`arim on the north (the same is Kesalon), and went down to Beth-shemesh, and passed along by Timnah;
Jos 15:11and the border went out to the side of `Ekron northward; and the border extended to Shikron, and passed along to Mount Ba`alah, and went out at Yavne'el; and the goings out of the border were at the sea.
Jos 15:12The west border was to the great sea, and the border of it. This is the border of the children of Yehudah round about according to their families.
Jos 15:13To Kalev the son of Yefunneh he gave a portion among the children of Yehudah, according to the mitzvah of the LORD to Yehoshua, even Kiryat-Arba, which Arba was the father of `Anak (the same is Hevron).
Jos 15:14Kalev drove out there the three sons of `Anak: Sheshai, and Achiman, and Talmai, the children of `Anak.
Jos 15:15He went up there against the inhabitants of Devir: now the name of Devir before was Kiryat Sepher.
Jos 15:16Kalev said, He who strikes Kiryat Sepher, and takes it, to him will I give `Akhsah my daughter as wife.
Jos 15:17`Otni'el the son of Kenaz, the brother of Kalev, took it: and he gave him `Akhsah his daughter as wife.
Jos 15:18It happened, when she came to him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she alighted from off her donkey; and Kalev said, What would you?
Jos 15:19She said, Give me a blessing; for that you have set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water. He gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
