1 Loddet faldt for Judæernes Stamme efter deres Slægter saaledes, at deres Landomraade strækker sig hen imod Edoms Omraade, Zins Ørken mod Syd, yderst mod Syd.
The assignment of land for the tribe of the people of Judah, clan by clan, extended south to the border of Edom, with the wilderness of Zin being the farthest point to the south.
2 Deres Sydgrænse begynder ved Enden af Salthavet, ved den sydlige Bugt,
Their border on the south ran from the end of the Salt Sea, from the bay that faces to the south.

It went up to Beth Hoglah and passed along north of Beth Arabah. Then it went up to the Stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.
7 derpaa strækker Grænsen sig fra Akors Dal op til Debir og drejer nordpaa til Gilgal, som ligger lige over for Adummimpasset sønden for Dalen; derefter gaar Grænsen videre over til Vandet ved Sjemesjkilden og ender ved Rogelkilden;
Then the border went up to Debir from the Valley of Achor, and so northward, turning toward Gilgal, which is opposite the hill of Adummim, which is on the south side of the valley. Then the border passed along to the springs of En Shemesh and went to En Rogel.
8 derpaa strækker Grænsen sig op i Hinnoms Søns Dal til Sydsiden af Jebusiternes Bjergryg, det er Jerusalem; derpaa strækker Grænsen sig op til Toppen af Bjerget lige vesten for Hinnoms Dal ved Refaimdalens Nordende;
Then the border went up the Valley of Ben Hinnom to the south side of the Jebusite city (that is, Jerusalem). Then it went up to the top of the hill that lies over the Valley of Hinnom, on the west, which is at the northern end of the Valley of Rephaim.
9 derpaa bøjer Grænsen fra Toppen af dette Bjerg ben til Neftoas Vandkilde og løber videre til Byerne paa Efronbjerget; saa bøjer Grænsen om til Ba'ala, det er Kirjat-Jearim;

10 derpaa drejer Grænsen om fra Ba'ala mod Vest til Se'irbjerget, gaar videre til Jearimbjergets nordre Udløber, det er Kesalon: saa strækker den sig ned til Bet-Sjemesj og gaar videre til Timna;
Then the border circled around west of Baalah to Mount Seir, and passed along to the side of Mount Jearim on the north (the same as Kesalon), went down to Beth Shemesh, and crossed over to Timnah.
11 derpaa løber Grænsen i nordlig Retning til Bjergryggen ved Ekron; saa bøjer Grænsen om til Sjikkaron, gaar videre til Ba'alabjerget, løber til Jabne'el og ender ved Havet.
The border went out beside the northern hill of Ekron, and then it bends around to Shikkeron and passed along to Mount Baalah, from there it went to Jabneel. The border ended at the sea.
12 Vestgrænsen er det store Hav. Det er Grænsen rundt om Judæernes Omraade efter deres Slægter.
The western boundary was the Great Sea and its coastline. This is the border around the tribe of Judah, clan by clan.
13 Men Kaleb, Jefunnes Søn, gav han et Stykke Land imellem Judæerne efter HERRENS Befaling til Josua: Anaks Stamfader Arbas By, det er Hebron;
In keeping with the commandment of Yahweh to Joshua, Joshua gave Caleb son of Jephunneh an assignment of land among the tribe of Judah, Kiriath Arba, that is, Hebron (Arba was the father of Anak).
14 og Kaleb drev de tre Anakiter bort derfra, Sjesjaj, Abiman og Talmaj, der nedstammede fra Anak.
Caleb drove out from there the three sons of Anak: Sheshai, Ahiman and Talmai, descendants of Anak.
15 Derfra drog han op mod Debirs Indbyggere; Debir hed fordum Kirjat-Sefer.
He went up from there against the inhabitants of Debir (Debir used to be called Kiriath Sepher).
16 Da sagde Kaleb: »Den, som slaar Kirjat-Sefer og indtager det, giver jeg min Datter Aksa til Hustru!«
Caleb said, “The man who attacks Kiriath Sepher and captures it, to him I will give Aksah my daughter as a wife.”
17 Og da Kenizziten Otniel, Kalebs Broder, indtog det, gav han ham sin Datter Aksa til Hustru.
When Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb's brother, captured it, Caleb gave him Aksah his daughter as a wife.
18 Men da hun kom til ham, æggede han hende til at bede sin Fader om Agerland. Hun sprang da ned af Æselet, og Kaleb spurgte hende: »Hvad vil du?«
Soon after that, Aksah came to Othniel and she urged him to ask her father for a field. When she got off her donkey, Caleb said to her, “What do you want?”
19 Hun svarede: »Giv mig en Velsignelse! Siden du har bortgiftet mig i det tørre Sydland, maa du give mig Vandkilder!« Da gav han hende de øvre og de nedre Vandkilder.
Aksah replied, “Do me a special favor, since you have given me the land of the Negev: Also give me some springs of water.” Then Caleb gave her the upper springs and lower springs.
