13 J oshua gave Caleb son of Jephunneh a share among the people of Judah, as the Lord told him. It was Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), named for Arba, the father of Anak.

Lui Caleb, fiul lui Iefune, i s-a dat un teritoriu care era în mijlocul urmaşilor lui Iuda, potrivit celor spuse de Domnul lui Iosua, şi anume Chiriat-Arba (Hebron), – Arba fusese tatăl lui Anac.

14 C aleb drove away from there the three sons of Anak. The children of Anak were Sheshai, Ahiman and Talmai.

Caleb i-a izgonit de acolo pe cei trei urmaşi ai lui Anac: pe Şeşai, pe Ahiman şi pe Talmai, urmaşii lui Anac.

15 F rom there he went to fight against the people of Debir. The name of Debir had been Kiriath-sepher before.

De acolo a pornit împotriva locuitorilor Debirului (înainte Debirul purta numele de Chiriat-Sefer).

16 C aleb said, “I will give my daughter Achsah as a wife to the one who fights against Kiriath-sepher and takes it.”

Caleb a zis: „Aceluia care va ataca şi va cuceri Chiriat-Seferul îi voi da de soţie pe fiica mea Acsa!“

17 O thniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s brother, took it. So Caleb gave him his daughter Achsah as a wife.

Otniel, fiul lui Chenaz, fratele lui Caleb, a cucerit cetatea, iar Caleb i-a dat-o de soţie pe fiica lui, Acsa.

18 W hen she came to Othniel, she talked him into asking her father for a field. When she got down off her donkey, Caleb said to her, “What do you want?”

Odată, venind la Otniel, Acsa l-a îndemnat să-i ceară tatălui ei un teren. Când ea s-a dat jos de pe măgar, Caleb a întrebat-o: – Ce doreşti?

19 A chsah answered, “Give me a gift. You have given me the land of the Negev. Give me wells of water also.” So Caleb gave her the wells in the high-land and in the valley.

– Dă-mi o binecuvântare adevărată, i-a răspuns ea, deoarece mi-ai dat un teritoriu în Neghev. Dăruieşte-mi şi izvoare de ape. Şi astfel, Caleb i-a dat izvoarele de sus şi izvoarele de jos.
