Territory of Judah

1 Now 1the lot for the tribe of the sons of Judah according to their families reached the 2border of Edom, southward to the 3wilderness of Zin at the extreme south.
2 Their south border was from the lower end of the Salt Sea, from the bay that turns to the south.
3 Then it proceeded southward to the ascent of Akrabbim and continued to Zin, then went up by the south of Kadesh-barnea and continued to Hezron, and went up to Addar and turned about to Karka.
4 It 4continued to Azmon and proceeded to the 5brook of Egypt, and the border ended * at the sea. This shall be your south border.
5 The 6east border was the Salt Sea, as far as the mouth of the Jordan. And the 7border of the north side was from the bay of the sea at the mouth of the Jordan.
6 Then the border went up to Beth-hoglah, and continued on the north of Beth-arabah, and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.
7 The border went up to Debir from 8the valley of Achor, and turned northward toward Gilgal which is opposite the ascent of Adummim, which is on the south of the valley; and the border continued to the waters of En-shemesh and it ended * at En-rogel.
8 Then the border went up the valley of Ben-hinnom * to the slope of the 9Jebusite on the south (that is, Jerusalem ); and the border went up to the top of the mountain which is before * the valley of Hinnom to the west, which is at the end of the valley of Rephaim toward the north.
9 From the top of the mountain the border curved to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah and proceeded to the cities of Mount Ephron, then the border curved to 10Baalah (that is, 11Kiriath-jearim ).
10 The border turned about from Baalah westward to Mount Seir, and continued to the slope of Mount Jearim on the north (that is, Chesalon ), and went down to Beth-shemesh and continued through 12Timnah.
