Joshua 15

1 Now the allotment for the clans of the tribe of Judah extended to the border of Edom, to the Wilderness of Zin at the extreme southern boundary:

Igitur sors filiorum Iudae per cognationes suas ista fuit: A termino Edom, usque ad desertum Sin contra Meridiem, et usque ad extremam partem australis plagae.

2 Their southern border started at the bay on the southern tip of the Salt Sea,

initium eius a summitate maris salsissimi, et a lingua eius, quae respicit Meridiem.

3 proceeded south of the Ascent of Akrabbim, continued on to Zin, went over to the south of Kadesh-barnea, ran past Hezron up to Addar, and curved toward Karka.

Egrediturque contra Ascensum Scorpionis, et pertransit in Sina: ascenditque in Cadesbarne, et pervenit in Esron, ascendens ad Addar, et circuiens Carcaa,

4 It proceeded to Azmon, joined the Brook of Egypt, and ended at the Sea. This was their southern border.

atque inde pertransiens in Asemona, et perveniens ad Torrentem Aegypti: eruntque termini eius mare magnum. hic erit finis meridianae plagae.

5 The eastern border was the Salt Sea as far as the mouth of the Jordan. The northern border started from the bay of the sea at the mouth of the Jordan,

Ab Oriente vero erit initium, mare salsissimum usque ad extrema Iordanis: et ea quae respiciunt ad Aquilonem a lingua maris usque ad eumdem Iordanis fluvium.

6 went up to Beth-hoglah, proceeded north of Beth-arabah, and went up to the Stone of Bohan son of Reuben.

ascenditque terminus in Beth hagla, et transit ab Aquilone in Beth Araba: ascendens ad lapidem Boen filii Ruben.

7 Then the border went up to Debir from the Valley of Achor, turning north to Gilgal, which faces the Ascent of Adummim south of the ravine. It continued along the waters of En-shemesh and came out at En-rogel.

et tendens usque ad terminos Debera de Valle Achor, contra Aquilonem respiciens Galgala, quae est ex adverso Ascensionis Adommim, ab australi parte torrentis: transitque aquas, quae vocantur Fons solis: et erunt exitus eius ad Fontem rogel.

8 From there the border went up the Valley of Hinnom along the southern slope of the Jebusites (that is, Jerusalem) and ascended to the top of the hill that faces the Valley of Hinnom on the west, at the northern end of the Valley of Rephaim.

ascenditque per convallem filii Ennom ex latere Iebusaei ad Meridiem, haec est Ierusalem: et inde se erigens ad verticem montis, qui est contra Geennom ad Occidentem in summitate Vallis Raphaim contra Aquilonem.

9 From the hilltop the border curved to the spring of the Waters of Nephtoah, proceeded to the cities of Mount Ephron, and then bent around toward Baalah (that is, Kiriath-jearim).

pertransitque a vertice montis usque ad fontem aquae Nephtoa: et pervenit usque ad vicos montis Ephron: inclinaturque in Baala, quae est Cariathiarim, id est, urbs silvarum.

10 The border curled westward from Baalah to Mount Seir, ran along the northern slope of Mount Jearim (that is, Chesalon), went down to Beth-shemesh, and crossed to Timnah.

et circuit de Baala contra Occidentem, usque ad montem Seir: transitque iuxta latus montis Iarim ad Aquilonem in Cheslon: et descendit in Bethsames, transitque in Thamna.

11 Then it went out to the northern slope of Ekron, curved toward Shikkeron, proceeded to Mount Baalah, went on to Jabneel, and ended at the Sea.

et pervenit contra Aquilonem partis Accaron ex latere: inclinaturque Sechrona, et transit montem Baala: pervenitque in Iebneel, et magni maris contra occidentem fine concluditur.

12 And the western border was the coastline of the Great Sea. These are the boundaries around the clans of the descendants of Judah.

hi sunt termini filiorum Iuda per circuitum in cognationibus suis.

13 According to the LORD’s command to him, Joshua gave Caleb son of Jephunneh a portion among the sons of Judah—Kiriath-arba, that is, Hebron. (Arba was the forefather of Anak.)

Caleb vero filio Iephone dedit partem in medio filiorum Iuda, sicut praeceperat ei Dominus: Cariath Arbe patris Enac, ipsa est Hebron.

14 And Caleb drove out from there the three sons of Anak—the descendants of Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.

Delevitque ex ea Caleb tres filios Enac, Sesai et Ahiman et Tholmai de stirpe Enac.

15 From there he marched against the inhabitants of Debir (formerly known as Kiriath-sepher).

Atque inde conscendens venit ad habitatores Dabir, quae prius vocabatur Cariath Sepher, id est, civitas litterarum.

16 And Caleb said, “To the man who strikes down Kiriath-sepher and captures it, I will give my daughter Acsah in marriage.”

Dixitque Caleb: Qui percusserit Cariath Sepher, et ceperit eam, dabo ei Axam filiam meam uxorem.

17 So Othniel son of Caleb’s brother Kenaz captured the city, and Caleb gave his daughter Acsah to him in marriage.

Cepitque eam Othoniel filius Cenez frater Caleb iunior: deditque ei Axam filiam suam uxorem.

18 One day Acsah came to Othniel and urged him to ask her father for a field. When she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What do you desire?”

Quae, cum pergerent simul, suasa est a viro suo ut peteret a patre suo agrum, suspiravitque ut sedebat in asino. Cui Caleb: Quid habes, inquit?

19 “Give me a blessing,” she answered. “Since you have given me land in the Negev, give me springs of water as well.” So Caleb gave her both the upper and lower springs.

At illa respondit: Da mihi benedictionem: Terram australem et arentem dedisti mihi, iunge et irriguam. Dedit itaque ei Caleb irriguum superius et inferius.

20 This is the inheritance of the clans of the tribe of Judah.

Haec est possessio tribus filiorum Iuda per cognationes suas.

21 These were the southernmost cities of the tribe of Judah in the Negev toward the border of Edom: Kabzeel, Eder, Jagur,
