The land that was allotted to the tribe of Judah was divided among its clans. That land extended south along the border of the Edom region, as far as the Zin Desert.

The southern border of the land that was allotted to the tribe of Judah started at the south end of the Dead Sea [and extended west].

From there the border continued west through Achor Valley to Debir [city]. From there it turned north to Gilgal [city]. Gilgal is north of the road that goes through Adummim Pass, on the south side of the valley. From Gilgal the border extended west to the springs at En-Shemesh, and from there to En-Rogel.

From there it extended through Ben-Hinnom Valley, south of the city where the Jebus people-group lived. (That city is now named Jerusalem.) From there the border extended to the top of the hill on the west side of Hinnom Valley, at the northern end of the valley where the Repha [giants] lived.

The western border of the land that was allotted to the tribe of Judah was the Mediterranean Sea. All the clans of Judah lived inside those borders.

Yahweh commanded Joshua to give part of the land for the tribe of Judah to Caleb. So he gave to Caleb Kiriath-Arba [city], which is now named Hebron. (Arba was the ancestor of the Anak people-group.)
14 Natao i Kalebe soike i ana-dahi’ telo’ i Anàke rey: i Sesay naho i Ahimane naho i Talmay, i ana’ i Anàke rey.
Caleb forced the three clans of the Anak people-group to leave Hebron. Those were the Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai clans.
15 Ie boak’ ao le nionjomb’ amo mpimone’ i Debireo mb’eo; natao Kiriate-sefere ty añara’ i Debire taolo.
Then Caleb left there and went to fight against the people living in Debir [city], which was previously named Kiriath-Sepher.
16 Le hoe t’i Kalebe, Hatoloko amy ze manjevoñe i Kiriate-sefere vaho mahatavañe aze t’i Aksàe anak’ ampelako ho vali’e.
Caleb said, “If someone attacks [the people in] Kiriath-Sepher and captures their city, I will give my daughter Acsah to him to be his wife.”
17 Aa le tinava’ i Otniele ana’i Kenaze rahalahi’ i Kalebe vaho natolo’e aze t’i Aksae anak’ ampela’e ho tañanjomba’e.
Othniel, the son of Caleb’s brother Kenaz, captured the city. So Caleb gave his daughter to him.
18 Ie amy zao, naho nasese ama’e i ampelay, le nosihe’e ty hihalaly tetek’ aman-drae’e; aa ie nizotso amy borìke’ey, le hoe ty asa’ i Kalebe ama’e: Ino o paia’oo?
When Caleb’s daughter married Othniel, she told him to ask her father to give her a field. Then Acsah went to talk with her father Caleb. As she got down from her donkey, Caleb asked her, “Do you want something?”
19 Hoe re: Tatao iraho, kanao tinolo’o tane atimo ao, ehe itoloro rano manganahana. Aa le natolo’e aze i Rano Manganahana Amboney naho i Rano Manganahana Ambaney.
Acsah replied, “Yes, I want you to do something for me. You have given me some land in the southern part of Canaan, [but there is no water there]. So please give me some [land that has] springs.” So Caleb gave her the upper and lower springs [near Hebron].
20 Zao ty lova ty fifokoa’ Iehoda ty amo hasavereña’eo.
