Joshua 15 — TOJB
15Verse 1This then was the goral (lot) of the tribe of the Bnei Yehudah by their mishpekhot; even to the territory of Edom, to the midbar of Tzin toward the Negev in the extreme south.Verse 2And their southern boundary was from the shore of the Yam HaMelach, from the bay that looketh southward;Verse 3And it went out to the south side to Ma'aleh Akrabbim, passed along to Tzin, ascended up on the south side unto Kadesh-Barnea, passed along to Chetzron, went up to Addar, and turned toward Karka;Verse 4From there it passed toward Atzmon, and went out unto the Wadi Mitzrayim; and the boundary ended at the Yam;+this shall be your south border.Verse 5And the east boundary is the Yam HaMelach, even unto the mouth of the Yarden. And their boundary in the north quarter was from the bay of the Yam+at the mouth of the Yarden;Verse 6And the boundary went up to Beit-Choglah, and passed along by the north of Beit-Aravah; and the boundary went up to the Even Bohan ben Reuven;Verse 7And the boundary went up toward Devir from the Achor Valley, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, which faces Ma'aleh-Adummim, which is on the south side of the wadi; and the boundary passed toward the Ein Shemesh Spring, and ended at Ein-Rogel;Verse 8And the boundary went up by Ben Hinnom Valley unto the slope of the Yevusi (that is, Yerushalayim); and the boundary went up to the top of the har that is before the Hinnom Valley westward, which is at the end of the Repha'im Valley northward;Verse 9From the top of the har the boundary ran unto the source of Nephtoach Spring, and went out to the towns of Har Ephron; and the boundary went to Ba'alah (that is, Kiryat-Ye'arim);Verse 10And the boundary curved from Ba'alah westward unto Mt Se'ir, and ran along unto the slope of Mt Yearim (that is, Kesalon), on the north side, and went down to Beit-Shemesh, and passed on to Timnah;Verse 11And the boundary went out unto the side of Ekron northward; and the boundary ran over to Shikkaron, and passed along to Mt Ba'alah, and went out unto Yavne'el; and the boundary ended at the Yam.+Verse 12And the western boundary is HaYamah HaGadol, and the coast thereof. This is the boundary around the Bnei Yehudah according to their mishpekhot.Verse 13And unto Kalev ben Yephunneh he gave chelek among the Bnei Yehudah, according to the commandment of Hashem to Yehoshua, even Kiryat-Arba (avi HaAnak) , which is Chevron.Verse 14And Kalev drove from there the three Bnei Anak: Sheshai and Achiman and Talmai, the descendants of Anak.Verse 15And he went up from there to the inhabitants of Devir; and the shem of Devir formerly was Kiryat-Sepher.Verse 16And Kalev said, He that strikes down Kiryat-Sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my bat as isha.Verse 17And Otniel ben Kenaz, the brother of Kalev, took it; and he gave him Achsah his bat as isha.Verse 18And it came to pass, as she came unto him, that she urged him to ask of her av a sadeh; and she got off her chamor; and Kalev said unto her, What wouldest thou?Verse 19She answered, Give me a brocha; for thou hast given me eretz HaNegev;+give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs, and the lower springs.Verse 20This is the nachalah of the tribe of the Bnei Yehudah according to their mishpekhot.Verse 21And the towns at the extremity of the tribe of the Bnei Yehudah toward the boundary of Edom southward were Kavtze'el, and Eder, and Yagur,Verse 22And Kinah, and Dimonah, and Adadah,Verse 23And Kedesh, and Chatzor, and Yitnan,Verse 24Ziph, and Telem, and Be'alot,Verse 25And Chatzor, Chadattah, and Keriyot, and Chetzron, which is Chatzor,Verse 26Amam, and Shema, and Moladah,Verse 27And Chatzar Gaddah, Cheshmon, and Beit-Pelet,Verse 28And Chatzar Shual, Be'er-Sheva, and Bizyot-Yah,Verse 29Ba'alah, Iyim, Etzem,Verse 30And Eltolad, and Kesil, and Chormah,Verse 31And Tziklag, and Madmannah, and Sansannah,Verse 32And Levaot, and Shilchim, and Ayin, and Rimmon; all the cities are 29, with their villages.Verse 33And in the Shefelah: Eshta'ol, and Tzorah, and Ashnah,Verse 34And Zanoach, and Ein-Gannim, Tapuach, and Enam,Verse 35Yarmut, and Adullam, Sokhoh, and Azekah,Verse 36And Sha'arayim, and Aditayim, and Gederah, and Gederotayim; 14 cities with their villages.Verse 37Tzenan, and Chadashah, and Migdal-Gad,Verse 38And Dile'an, and Mitzpeh, and Yokte'el,Verse 39Lakhish, and Botzkat, and Eglon,Verse 40And Kabbon, and Lachmas, and Kitlish,Verse 41And Gederot, Beit-Dagon, and Naamah, and Makkedah; 16 cities with their villages.Verse 42Livnah, and Eter, and Ashan,Verse 43And Yiftach, and Ashnah, and Netziv,Verse 44And Ke'ilah, and Achziv, and Mareshah; 9 cities with their villages.Verse 45Ekron, with her towns and her villages.Verse 46From Ekron even unto the Yam, all that lay near Ashdod, with their villages.Verse 47Ashdod with her towns and her villages, Azah (Gaza) with her towns and her villages, unto the Wadi Mitzrayim, and the Yam HaGadol, and the coastline thereof.Verse 48And in the har, Shamir, and Yatir, and Sokho,Verse 49And Dannah, and Kiryat Sannah, which is Devir,Verse 50And Anav, and Eshtemoh, and Anim,Verse 51And Goshen, and Cholon, and Giloh; 11 cities with their villages;Verse 52Arav, and Dumah, and Esh'an,Verse 53And Yanum, and Beit-Tappuach, and Aphekah,Verse 54And Chumtah, and Kiryat-Arba, which is Chevron, and Tzior; 9 cities with their villages;Verse 55Ma'on, Carmel, and Ziph, and Yutah,Verse 56And Yizre'el, and Yokde'am, and Zanoach,Verse 57Kayin, Giv'ah, and Timnah; 10 cities with their villages;Verse 58Chalchul, Beit-Tzur, and Gedor,Verse 59And Ma'arat, and Beit-Anot, and Eltekon; 6 cities with their villages;Verse 60Kiryat Ba'al, which is Kiryat-Ye'arim, and Rabbah; 2 cities with their villages;Verse 61In the midbar, Beit-Aravah, Middin, and Sekhakhah,Verse 62And Nivshan, and the Ir HaMelach, and Ein-Gedi; 6 cities with their villages.Verse 63As for the Yevusi, the inhabitants of Yerushalayim, the Bnei Yehudah could not drive them out; but the Yevusi dwell with the Bnei Yehudah at Yerushalayim unto HaYom Hazeh.
