Ang Lupang para sa Lipi ni Juda
15 Ang lupaing napapunta sa lipi ni Juda ay mula sa dulo ng Edom at hanggang sa ilang ng Zin sa kaduluhan sa gawing timog.
Ito ang pinaghati-hatian ng mga angkang bumubuo ng lipi. 2 Nagmula ang hangganan ng lupaing ito sa timog ng Dagat na Patay, 3 nagtuloy sa Landas ng Acrabim, at lumampas patungo sa ilang ng Zin. Buhat doo'y umahon sa Kades-barnea, nagdaan ng Hezron, nagtuloy sa Adar at lumikong patungo sa Carca. 4 Matapos tahakin ang Asmona, tinunton ang batis ng Egipto at nagtapos sa Dagat Mediteraneo. Ito ang hangganan ng Juda sa timog.
5 Sa gawing silangan ang hangganan ng lupaing ito'y ang Dagat na Patay hanggang sa bunganga ng Jordan. Dito naman nagsimula ang hangganang hilaga. 6 Umahon ito sa balikat ng Beth-hogla, dumaan sa hilaga ng Beth-araba at nagtuloy sa Bato ni Bohan, na anak ni Ruben. 7 Buhat sa Libis ng Kaguluhan, umahon sa Debir at nagtuloy sa hilaga. Lumiko ito patungong Gilgal na nasa tapat ng Pag-ahon sa Adumim sa timog ng libis, tumawid ng batis ng En-shemes at nagtuloy sa Batis ng En-rogel. 8 Buhat dito'y paahong tinahak ang Libis ng Ben Hinom na nasa timog ng burol ng mga Jebuseo (na tinatawag ding Jerusalem). Umahon uli patungo sa taluktok ng bundok na nasa tapat ng kanluran ng Libis ng Ben Hinom at sa dulong hilaga ng Libis ng Refaim. 9 Buhat sa taluktok ng bundok ay lumikong patungo sa Batis ng Neftoa, at lumabas sa mga lunsod sa Bundok ng Efron, at bumaling na papuntang Baala (na tinatawag ding Lunsod ng Jearim). 10 Umikot sa kanluran ng Baala patungo sa Bundok ng Seir, nagdaan sa libis na hilaga ng Bundok Jearim (na tinatawag ding Kesalon), lumusong na patungong Beth-semes, at nagtuloy sa Timna. 11 Buhat naman dito, umahon sa libis ng Bundok sa hilaga ng Ekron at bumaling na papuntang Sicron. Tinahak ang Bundok ng Baala, lumabas sa Jabneel, at nagtapos sa Dagat Mediteraneo na siyang naging 12 hangganan sa kanluran. Ito ang mga hangganan ng lupaing napapunta sa lipi ni Juda na pinaghati-hatian ng mga angkang bumubuo ng lipi.
Sinakop ni Caleb ang Hebron at Debir(A)
13 Gaya(B) ng sinabi ni Yahweh kay Josue, isang bahagi ng lupaing kaparte ng lipi ni Juda ay ibinigay kay Caleb na anak ni Jefune. Ibinigay sa kanya ang Hebron, ang lunsod na dating sakop ni Arba na ama ni Anac. 14 Pinalayas ni Caleb sa lupaing iyon ang tatlong anak na lalaki ni Anac: sina Sesai, Ahiman at Talmai. 15 Pagkatapos, nilusob niya ang Debir, na noong una'y tinatawag na Lunsod ng Sefer. 16 At sinabi ni Caleb, “Ipakakasal ko ang anak kong si Acsa sa sinumang sumalakay at sumakop sa Lunsod ng Sefer.” 17 Si Otniel na anak ni Kenaz na kapatid ni Caleb ang nakagawa niyon, kaya't si Acsa'y ipinakasal ni Caleb kay Otniel. 18 Nang makasal na ang dalawa, sinabi ni Otniel sa asawa na humingi ng isang bukirin kay Caleb na kanyang ama. Pumunta nga si Acsa kay Caleb, at pagkababa sa asnong sinasakyan, tinanong siya ni Caleb, “Anong kailangan mo?”
19 Sumagot si Acsa, “Bigyan mo po ako ng makukunan ng tubig, sapagkat lupang tigang ang ibinigay mo sa akin.” Kaya't ibinigay sa kanya ni Caleb ang mga bukal sa gawing itaas at sa gawing ibaba.

Judah’s Inheritance
15 Now (A)the lot for the tribe of the sons of Judah according to their families [a]reached the (B)border of Edom, southward to the (C)wilderness of Zin at the far end toward the south. 2 And their south border was from the lower end of the Salt Sea, from the bay that turns to the south. 3 Then it went out southward to the ascent of Akrabbim and passed on to Zin and went up by the south of Kadesh-barnea and continued to Hezron and went up to Addar and turned about to Karka. 4 And it (D)passed on to Azmon and went out to the [b](E)brook of Egypt, and the [c]border ended at the sea. This shall be your south border. 5 And the (F)east border was the Salt Sea, as far as the [d]mouth of the Jordan. And the (G)border of the north side was from the bay of the sea at the [e]mouth of the Jordan. 6 Then the border went up to Beth-hoglah and passed by on the north of Beth-arabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben. 7 Then the border went up to Debir from (H)the valley of Achor and turned northward toward Gilgal which is opposite the ascent of Adummim, which is on the south of the valley; and the border continued to the waters of En-shemesh and [f]it ended at En-rogel. 8 Then the border went up the valley of Ben-hinnom to the slope of the (I)Jebusite on the south (that is, Jerusalem); and the border went up to the top of the mountain which is before the valley of Hinnom to the west, which is at the end of the valley of Rephaim toward the north. 9 From the top of the mountain the border curved to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah and proceeded to the cities of Mount Ephron; then the border curved to (J)Baalah (that is, (K)Kiriath-jearim). 10 Then the border turned about from Baalah westward to Mount Seir and continued to the slope of Mount Jearim on the north (that is, Chesalon) and went down to Beth-shemesh and continued through (L)Timnah. 11 Then the border went out to the side of Ekron northward. Then the border curved to Shikkeron and passed on to Mount Baalah and went out to Jabneel, and the [g]border ended at the sea. 12 And the west border was (M)at the Great Sea, even its [h]coastline. This is the border around the sons of Judah according to their families.
13 Now (N)he gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh a portion (O)among the sons of Judah, according to the [i]command of Yahweh to Joshua, namely, [j]Kiriath-arba, Arba being the father of Anak (that is, Hebron). 14 (P)And Caleb dispossessed from there the three (Q)sons of Anak: Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai, the children of Anak. 15 Then (R)he went up from there against the inhabitants of Debir; now the name of Debir formerly was Kiriath-sepher. 16 And Caleb said, “The one who strikes down Kiriath-sepher and captures it, [k]I will give him Achsah my daughter as a wife.” 17 (S)And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, captured it; so he gave him Achsah his daughter as a wife. 18 (T)Now it happened that when she came to him, she enticed him to ask her father for a field. So she alighted from the donkey, and Caleb said to her, “What do you want?” 19 Then she said, “Give me a blessing; since you have given me the land of the [l]Negev, give me also springs of water.” So he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.
20 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Judah according to their families.
21 Now the cities at the far end of the tribe of the sons of Judah toward the border of Edom in the south were Kabzeel and (U)Eder and Jagur, 22 and Kinah and Dimonah and Adadah, 23 and Kedesh and Hazor and Ithnan, 24 Ziph and Telem and Bealoth, 25 and Hazor-hadattah and Kerioth-hezron (that is, Hazor), 26 Amam and Shema and Moladah, 27 and Hazar-gaddah and Heshmon and Beth-pelet, 28 and Hazar-shual and (V)Beersheba and Biziothiah, 29 Baalah and Iim and Ezem, 30 and Eltolad and Chesil and Hormah, 31 and (W)Ziklag and Madmannah and Sansannah, 32 and Lebaoth and Shilhim and Ain and Rimmon; in all, twenty-nine cities with their villages.
33 In the [m]Shephelah: (X)Eshtaol and Zorah and Ashnah, 34 and Zanoah and En-gannim, Tappuah and Enam, 35 Jarmuth and (Y)Adullam, Socoh and Azekah, 36 and Shaaraim and Adithaim and Gederah and Gederothaim; fourteen cities with their villages.
37 Zenan and Hadashah and Migdal-gad, 38 and Dilean and Mizpeh and Joktheel, 39 (Z)Lachish and Bozkath and Eglon, 40 and Cabbon and Lahmas and Chitlish, 41 and Gederoth, Beth-dagon and Naamah and Makkedah; sixteen cities with their villages.
42 Libnah and Ether and Ashan, 43 and Iphtah and Ashnah and Nezib, 44 and Keilah and Achzib and Mareshah; nine cities with their villages.
45 Ekron, with its towns and its villages; 46 from Ekron even to the sea, all that were by the [n]side of Ashdod, with their villages.
47 Ashdod, its towns and its villages; Gaza, its towns and its villages; as far as (AA)the [o]brook of Egypt and the Great Sea, even its [p]coastline.
48 And in the hill country: Shamir and Jattir and Socoh, 49 and Dannah and Kiriath-sannah (that is, Debir), 50 and Anab and Eshtemoh and Anim, 51 and Goshen and Holon and Giloh; eleven cities with their villages.
52 Arab and Dumah and Eshan, 53 and Janum and Beth-tappuah and Aphekah, 54 and Humtah and Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron) and Zior; nine cities with their villages.
55 Maon, Carmel and Ziph and Juttah, 56 and Jezreel and Jokdeam and Zanoah, 57 Kain, Gibeah and Timnah; ten cities with their villages.
58 Halhul, Beth-zur and Gedor, 59 and Maarath and Beth-anoth and Eltekon; six cities with their villages.
60 Kiriath-baal (that is, Kiriath-jearim) and Rabbah; two cities with their villages.
61 In the wilderness: Beth-arabah, Middin and Secacah, 62 and Nibshan and the City of Salt and Engedi; six cities with their villages.
63 Now as for the (AB)Jebusites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the sons of Judah could not dispossess them; so the Jebusites live with the sons of Judah at Jerusalem until this day.
