15 This, then, was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah, by their families, to the border of Edom and the wilderness of Zin, southward, on the southern border.
2 And their southern border was the Salt Sea coast, from the point that looks southward.
3 And it went out on the south side toward Maaleh Akrabbim, and went along to Zin, and ascended up on the south side to Kadesh Barnea, and went along to Hezron, and went up to Adar, and went around to Karkaa.
4 From there it went along to Azmon and reached to the river of Egypt. And the end of that territory was on the west side. This shall be your southern border.
5 Also, the eastern border shall be the Salt Sea, to the end of Jordan, and the border on the northern quarter shall be from the point of the sea, from the end of Jordan.
6 And this border goes up to Beth Hoglah and goes along by the north side of Beth Arabah. So, the border from there goes up to the stone of Bohan, the son of Reuben.
7 Again, this border goes up to Debir, from the valley of Achor, and northward, turning toward Gilgal, which lies before the going to Adummim, which is on the southern side of the river. Also this border goes up to the waters of En Shemesh, and ends at En Rogel.
8 Then, this border goes up to the valley of the son of Hinnom, on the southern side of the Jebusites. Jerusalem is the same. Also, this border goes up to the top of the mountain that lies before the valley of Hinnom, westward, which is by the end of the valley of giants, northward.
9 So, this border goes around from the top of the mountain to the fountain of the water of Nephtoah and goes out to the cities of Mount Ephron. And this border draws to Baalah, which is Kirjath Jearim.
10 Then, this border goes around from Baalah westward to Mount Seir and goes along to the side of Mount Jearim, which is Chesalon, on the northern side. It comes down to Beth Shemesh and goes to Timnah.
11 Also, this border goes out to the side of Ekron, northward. And this border draws to Shicron and goes along to Mount Baalah and stretches to Jabneel. And the ends of this territory are to the Sea.
12 And the western border is to the Great Sea. So, this border shall be the boundary of the children of Judah all around, according to their families.
13 And to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, Joshua gave a part among the children of Judah, as the LORD Commanded him: Kirjath Arba, of the father of Anak, which is in Hebron.
14 And Caleb drove three sons of Anak from there: Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, the sons of Anak.
15 And he went up from there to the inhabitants of Debir. And the name of Debir was formerly Kirjath Sepher.
16 Then Caleb said, “He who strikes Kirjath Sepher, and takes it, to him will I give Achsah, my daughter, as a wife.”
17 And Othniel, the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it. And he gave him Achsah, his daughter, as a wife.
18 And as she went in, she would move him to ask her father for a field. And she dismounted her donkey, and Caleb said to her, “What do you want?”
19 Then she answered, “Give me a blessing; for you have given me the South country. Give me also springs of water.” And he gave her the springs above and the springs beneath.
20 This shall be the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah, according to their families.

18 Then a certain ruler asked Him, saying, “Good Master, what ought I to do to inherit eternal life?”
19 And Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is good except One - God.
20 “You know the Commandments, ‘You shall not commit adultery. You shall not kill. You shall not steal. You shall not bear false witness. Honor your father and your mother.”
21 And he said, “All these have I kept from my youth!”
22 Now when Jesus heard that, He said to him, “Still, you lack one thing. Sell all that you have and distribute it to the poor. And you shall have treasure in Heaven. And come follow Me.”
23 But when he heard those things, he was very sorrowful. For he was very rich.
24 And when Jesus saw he was very sorrowful, He said, “How difficult it is for those who have riches to enter into the Kingdom of God!
25 “Surely it is easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye, than for a rich man to enter into the Kingdom of God.”
26 Then those who heard it said, “And who then shall be saved?”
27 And He said, “The things which are impossible with man are possible with God.”
28 Then Peter said, “Lo, we have left all and have followed You.”
29 And He said to them, “Truly I say to you there is no one who has left house, or parents, or brothers, or wife, or children, for the Kingdom of God’s sake,
30 “who shall not receive much more in this world - and in the world to come, eternal life.”
31 Then Jesus took the twelve to Him and said to them, “Behold, we go up to Jerusalem. And all things that are written of the Son of Man by the Prophets shall be fulfilled.
32 “For He shall be delivered to the Gentiles, and shall be mocked, and shall be mistreated, and shall be spit upon.
33 “And when they have scourged Him, they will put Him to death. But the third day He shall rise again.”
34 But they understood none of these things. And this saying was hidden from them. Nor did they perceive the things which were spoken.
35 And it happened that as He came near to Jericho, a certain blind man sat by the wayside, begging.
36 And when he heard the people pass by, he asked what it meant.
37 And they said to him that Jesus of Nazareth passed by.
38 Then he cried, saying, “Jesus, the Son of David! Have mercy on me!”
39 And those who went before ordered him to be quiet. But he cried much more, “O, Son of David! Have mercy on me!”
40 And Jesus stood still. And He commanded him to be brought to Him. And when he had come near, He asked him,
41 saying, “What would you have Me do for you?” And he said, “Lord, that I may receive my sight.”
42 And Jesus said to him, “Receive your sight. Your faith has saved you.
43 Then immediately he received his sight and followed Him, praising God. And all the people, when they saw, gave praise to God.
86 Bow down Your ear, O LORD, and hear me; for I am poor and needy.
2 Preserve my soul, for I am merciful. My God, save Your servant who trusts in You.
3 Be merciful to me, O LORD, for I cry upon You continually.
4 Rejoice the soul of Your servant. For to You, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.
5 For You, LORD, are good and merciful and of great kindness to all those who call upon You.
6 Give ear, LORD, to my prayer and pay attention to the voice of my supplication.
7 In the day of my trouble, I will call upon You; for You hear me.
8 Among the gods there is none like You, O LORD; and there are none like Your works.
9 All nations whom You have made shall come and worship before You, O LORD, and shall glorify Your Name.
10 For You are great and do wondrous things. You are God, alone.
11 Teach me Your way, O LORD, and I will walk in Your truth. Knit my heart to You, so that I may fear Your Name.
12 I will praise You, O LORD my God, with all my heart. Indeed, I will glorify Your Name forever.
13 For great is Your mercy toward me; and You have delivered my soul from the lowest grave.
14 O God, the proud have risen against me, and the assemblies of violent men have sought my soul and have not set You before them.
15 But You, O LORD, are a pitying God, and merciful, slow to anger and great in kindness and truth.
16 Turn to me and have mercy upon me. Give Your strength to Your servant and save the son of Your handmaid.
17 Show a sign of goodness toward me, so that those who hate me may see it and be ashamed; because You, O LORD, have helped me and comforted me. A Psalm, or song, committed to the sons of Korah
9 The light of the righteous rejoices. But the candle of the wicked shall be put out.
10 Only through pride comes strife. But with the well-advised is wisdom.
