1 T his 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.

أمّا الأرْضُ الَّتِي أُعطِيَتْ بِالقُرْعَةِ لِعَشِيرَةِ يَهُوذا بِحَسَبِ عَشائِرِها، فَقَدِ امتَدَّتْ جَنُوباً إلَى حُدُودِ أدُومَ إلَى بَرِّيَّةِ صِينَ فِي أقصَى الجَنُوبِ.

2 A nd their south border was from the shore of the salt sea, from the bay that looketh southward:

وَوَصَلَ حَدُّها الجَنُوبِيُّ إلَى الخَلِيجِ فِي طَرَفِ بَحْرِ المِلحِ الَّذِي يَمتَدُّ نَحْوَ الجَنُوبِ.

3 A nd it went out to the south side to Maalehacrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and ascended up on the south side unto Kadeshbarnea, and passed along to Hezron, and went up to Adar, and fetched a compass to Karkaa:

وَيَمُرُّ الحَدُّ الجَنُوبِيُّ بِجَنُوبِ مَمَرِّ العَقْرَبِ، إلَى صِينَ. ثُمَّ إلَى الجَنُوبِ مِنْ قادَشَ بَرْنِيعَ وَيَدُورُ حَولَ حَصْرُونَ ثُمَّ يَصْعَدُ إلَى أدّارَ، وَيَمْتَدُّ إلَى القَرْقَعِ،

4 F rom 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.

ثُمَّ يَمْتَدُّ حَولَ عَصْمُونَ، ثُمَّ إلَى وادِي مِصْرَ، وَيَنْتَهِي عِندَ البَحْرِ. هَذا هوَ حَدُّهُمُ الجَنُوبِيُّ.

5 A nd 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:

وَالحَدُّ الشَّرقِيُّ هوَ بَحرُ المِلحِ حَتَّى مَصَبِّ نَهرِ الأُردُنِّ. وَالحَدُّ الشِّمالِيُّ يَمتَدُّ مِنْ خَلِيجِ البَحرِ عِندَ مَصَبِّ نَهرِ الأُردُنِّ،

6 A nd the border went up to Bethhogla, and passed along by the north of Betharabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben:

وَيَصْعَدُ إلَى بَيتِ حُجلَةَ، ثُمَّ يَمْتَدُّ إلَى الشَّمالِ مِنْ بَيتِ العَرَبَةِ. ثُمَّ يَصْعَدُ إلَى حَجَرِ بُوهَنَ بْنِ رَأُوبَيْنَ.

7 A nd 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 Enshemesh, and the goings out thereof were at Enrogel:

ثُمَّ يَصْعَدُ الحَدُّ إلَى دَبِيرَ مِنْ وادِي عَخُورَ، ثُمَّ يَمْتَدُّ نَحوَ الشِّمالِ إلَى الجِلْجالِ مُقابِلَ مَمَرِّ أدُومِّيمَ الَّتِي تَقَعُ إلَى الجَنُوبِ مِنَ الوادِي. ثُمَّ يَمْتَدُّ الحَدُّ حَولَ عَينِ شَمسٍ، وَيَنتَهِي فِي عَينِ رُوجَلَ.

8 A nd 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:

ثُمَّ يَصْعَدُ الحَدُّ إلَى وادِي بْنِ هِنُّومَ جَنُوبَ مُنحَدَرِ اليَبُوسِيِّينَ، أي مَدينَةِ القُدْسِ. ثُمَّ يَصْعَدُ الحَدُّ إلَى قِمَّةِ الجَبَلِ الواقِعِ إلَى الغَرْبِ مِنْ وادِي هِنُّومَ عِندَ الطَّرَفِ الشِّمالِيِّ لِوادِي رَفائِيمَ.

9 A nd 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 Kirjathjearim:

ثُمَّ يَمْتَدُّ الحَدُّ مِنْ قِمَّةِ الجَبَلِ إلَى النَّبْعِ، إلَى مِياهِ نَفْتُوحَ، ثُمَّ عَبْرَ الوادِي إلَى مُدُنِ جَبَلِ عِفْرُونَ. ثُمَّ يَمْتَدُّ نَحْوَ بَعَلَةَ الَّتِي هِيَ قَرياتُ يَعارِيمَ.

10 A nd 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 Bethshemesh, and passed on to Timnah:

ثُمَّ يَمْتَدُّ الحَدُّ إلَى الغَرْبِ مِنْ بَعَلَةَ إلَى جَبَلِ سَعِيرَ، ثُمَّ يَمْتَدُّ إلَى المُنحَدَرِ الشِّمالِيِّ لِجَبَلِ يَعارِيمَ، الَّذِي هوَ كَسالُونَ، ثُمَّ يَنزِلُ إلَى بَيتِ شَمسٍ، ثُمَّ يَمْتَدُّ إلَى تِمْنَةَ.

11 A nd 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.

وَيَعبُرُ الحَدُّ الوادِي إلَى المُنْحَدَرِ فِي شِمالِ عِقْرُونَ. ثُمَّ يَمْتَدُّ نَحْوَ شَكْرُونَ، ثُمَّ حَولَ جَبَلِ بَعَلَةَ، ثُمَّ يَعبُرُ الوادِي إلَى يَبْنِئِيلَ. وَيَنتَهِي الحَدُّ عِندَ البَحْرِ.

12 A nd 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.

وَأمّا الحَدُّ الغَربِيُّ فَهوَ البَحرُ وَشاطِئُهُ. هَذا هوَ الحَدُّ المُحِيطُ بَقَبِيلَةِ يَهُوذا بِحَسَبِ عَشائِرِهِا.

13 A nd 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.

وَأعطَى يَشُوعُ كالَبَ بْنَ يَفُنَّةَ حِصَّةً مِنَ الأرْضِ وَسَطَ قَبِيلَةِ يَهُوذا بِحَسَبِ أمرِ اللهِ لِيَشُوعَ، فَأعطاهُ قَرياتَ أرْبَعَ، أي حَبْرُونَ. وَأربَعُ هوَ جَدُّ عَناقَ.

14 A nd Caleb drove thence the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.

وَطَرَدَ كالَبُ مِنْ هُناكَ أبناءَ عَناقَ الثَّلاثَةَ: شِيشايَ وَأخِيمانَ وَتَلْمايَ.

15 A nd he went up thence to the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before was Kirjathsepher.

وَصَعِدَ مِنْ هُناكَ لِيُهُاجِمَ سُكّانَ دَبِيرَ. وَكانَ اسْمُ دَبِيرَ سابِقاً قَرْياتَ سِفْرَ.

16 A nd Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjathsepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.

فَقالَ كالَبُ: «مَنْ يُهاجِمُ قَرياتَ سِفْرَ وَيَستَولِي عَلَيها فَإنِّي سَأُعطِيهِ ابنَتِي عَكْسَةَ زَوجَةً لَهُ.»

17 A nd Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.

فَاسْتَولَى عَلَيها عُثْنِيئِيلُ بْنُ قَنازَ أخُو كالَبَ الأصْغَرَ مِنْهُ، فَأعطاهُ كالَبُ ابنَتَهُ عَكْسَةَ زَوجَةً لَهُ.

18 A nd 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?

وَلَمّا جاءَتْ إلَى عُثْنِيئِيلَ، حَثَّها عَلَى أنْ تَطلَبَ حَقلاً مِنْ أبِيها. فَلَمّا نَزَلَتْ مِنَ عَلَى الحِمارِ، قالَ لَها كالَبُ: «ما الأمْرُ؟»

19 W ho 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.

فَقالَتْ لَهُ: «أعطِنِي بَرَكَةً. قَدْ أعطَيتَنِي أرْضاً جافَّةً فِي النَّقَبِ، فَأعطِنِي بِرَكَ ماءٍ أيضاً.» فَأعطاها البِرَكَ العُلْيا وَالسُّفلَى.

20 T his is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families.

هَذا هوَ مِيراثُ قَبِيلَةِ يَهُوذا بِحَسَبِ عَشائِرِهِمْ.

21 A nd the uttermost cities of the tribe of the children of Judah toward the coast of Edom southward were Kabzeel, and Eder, and Jagur,
