يَشُوع 15
| وَكَانَتِ ٱلْقُرْعَةُ لِسِبْطِ بَنِي يَهُوذَا حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ: إِلَى تُخْمِ أَدُومَ بَرِّيَّةَ صِينَ نَحْوَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ، أَقْصَى ٱلتَّيْمَنِ. | ١ 1 |
This was the land allotted to the tribe of Judah, by families: it stretched south to the border of Edom, to the wilderness of Zin in the far south.
| وَكَانَ تُخْمُهُمُ ٱلْجَنُوبِيُّ أَقْصَى بَحْرِ ٱلْمِلْحِ مِنَ ٱللِّسَانِ ٱلْمُتَوَجِّهِ نَحْوَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ. | ٢ 2 |
Their boundary began at the end of the Salt Sea—the bay that faces south—
| وَخَرَجَ إِلَى جَنُوبِ عَقَبَةِ عَقْرِبِّيمَ وَعَبَرَ إِلَى صِينَ، وَصَعِدَ مِنْ جَنُوبِ قَادَشِ بَرْنِيعَ وَعَبَرَ إِلَى حَصْرُونَ، وَصَعِدَ إِلَى أَدَّارَ إِلَى ٱلْقَرْقَعِ، | ٣ 3 |
and then went south of Scorpion Pass through the wilderness of Zin, then heading south from Kadesh-barnea to Hezron. From there it went up to Addar and then turned towards Karka,
| وَعَبَرَ إِلَى عَصْمُونَ وَخَرَجَ إِلَى وَادِي مِصْرَ. وَكَانَتْ مَخَارِجُ ٱلتُّخْمِ عِنْدَ ٱلْبَحْرِ. هَذَا يَكُونُ تُخْمُكُمُ ٱلْجَنُوبِيُّ. | ٤ 4 |
passing through Azmon and out to the Wadi of Egypt, ending at the sea. This was their southern border.
| وَتُخْمُ ٱلشَّرْقِ بَحْرُ ٱلْمِلْحِ إِلَى طَرَفِ ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ. وَتُخْمُ جَانِبِ ٱلشِّمَالِ مِنْ لِسَانِ ٱلْبَحْرِ أَقْصَى ٱلْأُرْدُنِّ. | ٥ 5 |
The eastern border of Judah was the Salt Sea, up to where the Jordan River ends. The northern boundary ran from the northern bay of the sea where the Jordan ends
| وَصَعِدَ ٱلتُّخْمُ إِلَى بَيْتِ حُجْلَةَ وَعَبَرَ مِنْ شِمَالِ بَيْتِ ٱلْعَرَبَةِ، وَصَعِدَ ٱلتُّخْمُ إِلَى حَجَرِ بُوهَنَ بْنِ رَأُوبَيْنَ، | ٦ 6 |
up to the border of Beth-hoglath, and then north of Beth-arabah to the Stone of Bohan (Reuben's son).
| وَصَعِدَ ٱلتُّخْمُ إِلَى دَبِيرَ مِنْ وَادِي عَخُورَ وَتَوَجَّهَ نَحْوَ ٱلشِّمَالِ إِلَى ٱلْجِلْجَالِ ٱلَّتِي مُقَابِلَ عَقَبَةِ أَدُمِّيمَ ٱلَّتِي مِنْ جَنُوبِيِّ ٱلْوَادِي. وَعَبَرَ ٱلتُّخْمُ إِلَى مِيَاهِ عَيْنِ شَمْسٍ، وَكَانَتْ مَخَارِجُهُ إِلَى عَيْنِ رُوجَلَ. | ٧ 7 |
From there it went to the border of Debir through the valley of Achor, and turned north towards Gilgal, opposite the heights of Adummim to the south of the valley. Then the boundary continued to the waters of En-shemesh and out to En-rogel.
| وَصَعِدَ ٱلتُّخْمُ فِي وَادِي ٱبْنِ هِنُّومَ إِلَى جَانِبِ ٱلْيَبُوسِيِّ مِنَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ، هِيَ أُورُشَلِيمُ. وَصَعِدَ ٱلتُّخْمُ إِلَى رَأْسِ ٱلْجَبَلِ ٱلَّذِي قُبَالَةَ وَادِي هِنُّومَ غَرْبًا، ٱلَّذِي هُوَ فِي طَرَفِ وَادِي ٱلرَّفَائِيِّينَ شِمَالًا. | ٨ 8 |
The boundary then went through the valley of Ben-hinnom, along the southern slopes of the Jebusites, (that is Jerusalem), then on up to the top of the mountain overlooking the valley of Hinnom right up to the northern end of the valley of Rephaim.
| وَٱمْتَدَّ ٱلتُّخْمُ مِنْ رَأْسِ ٱلْجَبَلِ إِلَى مَنْبَعِ مِيَاهِ نَفْتُوحَ، وَخَرَجَ إِلَى مُدُنِ جَبَلِ عِفْرُونَ وَٱمْتَدَّ ٱلتُّخْمُ إِلَى بَعَلَةَ، هِيَ قَرْيَةُ يَعَارِيمَ. | ٩ 9 |
From there the boundary ran from the top of the mountain to the water spring at Nephtoah and on to the towns on Mount Ephron. Then it bent towards Ballah (Kiriath-jearim).
| وَٱمْتَدَّ ٱلتُّخْمُ مِنْ بَعَلَةَ غَرْبًا إِلَى جَبَلِ سَعِيرَ، وَعَبَرَ إِلَى جَانِبِ جَبَلِ يَعَارِيمَ مِنَ ٱلشِّمَالِ، هِيَ كَسَالُونُ. وَنَزَلَ إِلَى بَيْتِ شَمْسٍ وَعَبَرَ إِلَى تِمْنَةَ. | ١٠ 10 |
Then the boundary moved around to the west of Baalah to Mount Seir and passed along the northern slope of Mount Jearim to the town of Kesalon, down to Beth Shemesh and on to Timnah.
| وَخَرَجَ ٱلتُّخْمُ إِلَى جَانِبِ عَقْرُونَ نَحْوَ ٱلشِّمَالِ وَٱمْتَدَّ ٱلتُّخْمُ إِلَى شَكْرُونَ وَعَبَرَ جَبَلَ ٱلْبَعَلَةِ وَخَرَجَ إِلَى يَبْنِئِيلَ. وَكَانَ مَخَارِجُ ٱلتُّخُمِ عِنْدَ ٱلْبَحْرِ. | ١١ 11 |
The boundary then ran to the north slope of Ekron, and bent towards Shikkeron, passing Mount Baalah, out to Jabneel, and ending at the sea.
| وَٱلتُّخْمُ ٱلْغَرْبِيُّ ٱلْبَحْرُ ٱلْكَبِيرُ وَتُخُومُهُ. هَذَا تُخْمُ بَنِي يَهُوذَا مُسْتَدِيرٌ حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ. | ١٢ 12 |
The western boundary was the coastline of the Great Sea. These were the boundaries around the tribe of Judah, by families.
| وَأَعْطَى كَالَبُ بْنَ يَفُنَّةَ قِسْمًا فِي وَسَطِ بَنِي يَهُوذَا حَسَبَ قَوْلِ ٱلرَّبِّ لِيَشُوعَ: قَرْيَةَ أَرْبَعَ أَبِي عَنَاقَ، هِيَ حَبْرُونُ. | ١٣ 13 |
The Lord had instructed Joshua to allocate some land in Judah's territory to Caleb, son of Jephunneh, and so he was given the town of Kiriath-arba, or Hebron. (Arba was the father of Anak.)
| وَطَرَدَ كَالَبُ مِنْ هُنَاكَ بَنِي عَنَاقَ ٱلثَّلَاثَةَ: شِيشَايَ وَأَخِيمَانَ وَتَلْمَايَ، أَوْلَادَ عَنَاقَ. | ١٤ 14 |
Caleb drove out three family groups—Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, descendants of Anak.
| وَصَعِدَ مِنْ هُنَاكَ إِلَى سُكَّانِ دَبِيرَ. وَكَانَ ٱسْمُ دَبِيرَ قَبْلًا قَرْيَةَ سِفْرٍ | ١٥ 15 |
From there he went to attack the inhabitants of Debir (previously known as Kiriath-sepher).
| وَقَالَ كَالَبُ: «مَنْ يَضْرِبُ قَرْيَةَ سِفْرٍ وَيَأْخُذُهَا أُعْطِيهِ عَكْسَةَ ٱبْنَتِي ٱمْرَأَةً». | ١٦ 16 |
Caleb announced, “Whoever attacks Kiriath-sepher and captures it, I will give him my daughter Acsah to marry.”
| فَأَخَذَهَا عُثْنِيئِيلُ بْنُ قَنَازَ أَخُو كَالَبَ. فَأَعْطَاهُ عَكْسَةَ ٱبْنَتَهُ ٱمْرَأَةً. | ١٧ 17 |
Othniel, son of Kenaz, brother of Caleb, captured the town so Caleb gave him his daughter Acsah to marry.
| وَكَانَ عِنْدَ دُخُولِهَا أَنَّهَا غَرَّتْهُ بِطَلَبِ حَقْلٍ مِنْ أَبِيهَا. فَنَزَلَتْ عَنِ ٱلْحِمَارِ فَقَالَ لَهَا كَالَبُ: «مَا لَكِ؟» | ١٨ 18 |
When she came to him, she encouraged him to ask her father for a field. When she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What do you want?”
| فَقَالَتْ: «أَعْطِنِي بَرَكَةً. لِأَنَّكَ أَعْطَيْتَنِي أَرْضَ ٱلْجَنُوبِ فَأَعْطِنِي يَنَابِيعَ مَاءٍ». فَأَعْطَاهَا ٱلْيَنَابِيعَ ٱلْعُلْيَا وَٱلْيَنَابِيعَ ٱلسُّفْلَى. | ١٩ 19 |
She replied, “Please give me a blessing. Since you have already given me land that's like the desert, please give me springs of water as well.” So he gave her both the upper and the lower springs.
| هَذَا نَصِيبُ سِبْطِ بَنِي يَهُوذَا حَسَبَ عَشَائِرِهِمْ: | ٢٠ 20 |
This was the land allotted to the tribe of Judah, by families.
| وَكَانَتِ ٱلْمُدُنُ ٱلْقُصْوَى ٱلَّتِي لِسِبْطِ بَنِي يَهُوذَا إِلَى تُخْمِ أَدُومَ جَنُوبًا: قَبْصِئِيلَ وَعِيدَرَ وَيَاجُورَ، | ٢١ 21 |
