As Terras da Tribo de Judá
1As terras distribuídas à tribo de Judá, clã por clã, estendiam-se para o sul até a fronteira com Edom, até o deserto de Zim, no extremo sul.
2Sua fronteira sul começava na ponta de terra do extremo sul do mar Salgado, 3passava pelo sul da subida de Acrabim15.3 Isto é, dos Escorpiões., prosseguia até Zim e daí até o sul de Cades-Barneia. Depois passava por Hezrom, indo até Adar e fazia uma curva em direção a Carca. 4Dali continuava até Azmom, indo até o ribeiro do Egito e terminando no mar. Essa era a fronteira sul deles15.4 Hebraico: de vocês..
5A fronteira oriental era o mar Salgado até a foz do Jordão.
A fronteira norte começava na enseada, na foz do Jordão, 6subia até Bete-Hogla e passava ao norte de Bete-Arabá até a Pedra de Boã, filho de Rúben. 7A fronteira subia então do vale de Acor até Debir, e virava para o norte, na direção de Gilgal, que fica defronte da subida de Adumim, ao sul do ribeiro. Passava pelas águas de En-Semes, indo até En-Rogel. 8Depois subia pelo vale de Ben-Hinom, ao longo da encosta sul da cidade dos jebuseus, isto é, Jerusalém. Dali subia até o alto da montanha, a oeste do vale de Hinom, no lado norte do vale de Refaim. 9Do alto da montanha a fronteira prosseguia para a fonte de Neftoa, ia para as cidades do monte Efrom e descia na direção de Baalá, que é Quiriate-Jearim. 10De Baalá fazia uma curva em direção ao oeste até o monte Seir, prosseguia pela encosta norte do monte Jearim, isto é, Quesalom; em seguida continuava descendo até Bete-Semes e passava por Timna. 11Depois ia para a encosta norte de Ecrom, virava na direção de Sicrom, continuava até o monte Baalá e chegava a Jabneel, terminando no mar.
12A fronteira ocidental era o litoral do mar Grande.
Eram essas as fronteiras que demarcavam Judá por todos os lados, de acordo com os seus clãs.
13Conforme a ordem dada pelo Senhor, Josué deu a Calebe, filho de Jefoné, uma porção de terra em Judá, que foi Quiriate-Arba, isto é, Hebrom. Arba era antepassado de Enaque. 14Calebe expulsou de Hebrom os três enaquins: Sesai, Aimã e Talmai, descendentes de Enaque. 15Dali avançou contra o povo de Debir, anteriormente chamada Quiriate-Sefer. 16E Calebe disse: “Darei minha filha Acsa por mulher ao homem que atacar e conquistar Quiriate-Sefer”. 17Otoniel, filho de Quenaz, irmão de Calebe, a conquistou; e Calebe lhe deu sua filha Acsa por mulher.
18Quando Acsa foi viver com Otoniel, ela o15.18 Conforme o Texto Massorético e alguns manuscritos da Septuaginta. Alguns manuscritos da Septuaginta dizem ele a. Veja Jz 1.14 e a nota. pressionou para que pedisse um campo ao pai dela. Assim que ela desceu do jumento, perguntou-lhe Calebe: “O que você quer?”
19“Quero um presente”, respondeu ela. “Já que me deu terras no Neguebe, dê-me também fontes de água.” Então Calebe lhe deu as fontes superiores e as inferiores.

1This then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah by their families; even to the border of Edom the wilderness of Zin southward was the uttermost part of the south coast. 2And their south border was from the shore of the salt sea, from the bay that looketh southward:15.2 bay: Heb. tongue 3And it went out to the south side to Maaleh-acrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and ascended up on the south side unto Kadesh-barnea, and passed along to Hezron, and went up to Adar, and fetched a compass to Karkaa:15.3 Maaleh-acrabbim: or, the going up to Acrabbim 4From thence it passed toward Azmon, and went out unto the river of Egypt; and the goings out of that coast were at the sea: this shall be your south coast. 5And the east border was the salt sea, even unto the end of Jordan. And their border in the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the uttermost part of Jordan: 6And the border went up to Beth-hogla, and passed along by the north of Beth-arabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben: 7And the border went up toward Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that is before the going up to Adummim, which is on the south side of the river: and the border passed toward the waters of En-shemesh, and the goings out thereof were at En-rogel: 8And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom unto the south side of the Jebusite; the same is Jerusalem: and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lieth before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the end of the valley of the giants northward: 9And the border was drawn from the top of the hill unto the fountain of the water of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of mount Ephron; and the border was drawn to Baalah, which is Kirjath-jearim: 10And the border compassed from Baalah westward unto mount Seir, and passed along unto the side of mount Jearim, which is Chesalon, on the north side, and went down to Beth-shemesh, and passed on to Timnah: 11And the border went out unto the side of Ekron northward: and the border was drawn to Shicron, and passed along to mount Baalah, and went out unto Jabneel; and the goings out of the border were at the sea. 12And the west border was to the great sea, and the coast thereof. This is the coast of the children of Judah round about according to their families.
13¶ And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a part among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua, even the city of Arba the father of Anak, which city is Hebron.15.13 the city…: or, Kirjath-arba 14And Caleb drove thence the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak. 15And he went up thence to the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before was Kirjath-sepher.
16¶ And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife. 17And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife. 18And it came to pass, as she came unto him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she lighted off her ass; and Caleb said unto her, What wouldest thou? 19Who answered, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs, and the nether springs.
20This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families. 21And the uttermost cities of the tribe of the children of Judah toward the coast of Edom southward were Kabzeel, and Eder, and Jagur, 22And Kinah, and Dimonah, and Adadah, 23And Kedesh, and Hazor, and Ithnan, 24Ziph, and Telem, and Bealoth, 25And Hazor, Hadattah, and Kerioth, and Hezron, which is Hazor, 26Amam, and Shema, and Moladah, 27And Hazar-gaddah, and Heshmon, and Beth-palet, 28And Hazar-shual, and Beer-sheba, and Bizjothjah, 29Baalah, and Iim, and Azem, 30And Eltolad, and Chesil, and Hormah, 31And Ziklag, and Madmannah, and Sansannah, 32And Lebaoth, and Shilhim, and Ain, and Rimmon: all the cities are twenty and nine, with their villages: 33And in the valley, Eshtaol, and Zoreah, and Ashnah, 34And Zanoah, and En-gannim, Tappuah, and Enam, 35Jarmuth, and Adullam, Socoh, and Azekah, 36And Sharaim, and Adithaim, and Gederah, and Gederothaim; fourteen cities with their villages:15.36 and Gederothaim: or, or Gederothaim 37Zenan, and Hadashah, and Migdal-gad, 38And Dilean, and Mizpeh, and Joktheel, 39Lachish, and Bozkath, and Eglon, 40And Cabbon, and Lahmam, and Kithlish, 41And Gederoth, Beth-dagon, and Naamah, and Makkedah; sixteen cities with their villages: 42Libnah, and Ether, and Ashan, 43And Jiphtah, and Ashnah, and Nezib, 44And Keilah, and Achzib, and Mareshah; nine cities with their villages: 45Ekron, with her towns and her villages: 46From Ekron even unto the sea, all that lay near Ashdod, with their villages:15.46 near: Heb. by the place of 47Ashdod with her towns and her villages, Gaza with her towns and her villages, unto the river of Egypt, and the great sea, and the border thereof:
