SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 15:1–63 The tribe of Judah received their land

This section describes the boundaries of the tribe of Judah and lists the towns that are within those boundaries.

Here are some other possible section headings:

The boundaries of Judah

The land of the tribe of Judah

Paragraph 15:1–4

The next four paragraphs describe the boundaries of the land that Joshua assigned to the tribe of Judah. The south boundary is described in verses 1–4. The east boundary is in verse 5a. The north boundary is in verses 5b through verse 11. The west boundary is in verse 12.

The south boundary starts at the south end of the Dead Sea. From there it swings south and then west to encompass a large area of the Negev Desert. Finally it ends at the Mediterranean Sea.

15:3a

proceeded south of the Ascent of Akrabbim,

proceeded south of the Ascent of Akrabbim: This indicates that the border passed to the south of the Ascent of Akrabbim as it continued going on toward the west.

proceeded: The Hebrew verbs in verses 3–12 are not in the same tense as the verbs in verses 1 and 2. The RSV uses a present tense to reflect this change in the Hebrew tense, but some English versions like the BSB do not.

It is recommended that you translate these verses using the same tense or aspect throughout. Choose a tense or aspect that is natural for a description of land boundaries.

Ascent of Akrabbim: The phrase Ascent of Akrabbim refers to a mountain pass or a road through the mountains. The Hebrew word Akrabbim means scorpion. Some English versions translate this phrase as “Scorpion Pass.”

Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:

As it went west from there, it ran south of Scorpion Pass (CEV)

The boundary line continued south of Scorpion Pass

The border went south of Akrabbim Pass as it continued westward

15:3b

continued on to Zin, went over to the south of Kadesh-barnea,

continued on to Zin, went over to the south of Kadesh-barnea: The town of Kadesh-barnea was mentioned in Joshua 10:41. You should translate it the same way in both places.

Zin: This refers to the “Wilderness of Zin” that was mentioned in verse 15:1.

went over: The phrase went over indicates that the boundary went uphill as it went past the town of Kadesh-barnea.

Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:

then continued to the Wilderness of Zin, and up south of the town of Kadesh-barnea

the boundary line went to the Wilderness of Zin and went uphill as it passed south of Kadesh-barnea

15:3c

ran past Hezron up to Addar, and curved toward Karka.

ran past Hezron up to Addar, and curved toward Karka: The phrase up to Addar indicates that the boundary ascended in elevation as it went from Hezron to Addar.

Hezron…Addar…Karka: These are the names of small towns. It may be helpful in some languages to include the term “town” in the translation.

Here are some other ways to translate this part of the verse:

It continued past Hezron up to Addar, turned toward Karka (CEV)

Then it ran past Hezron up to Addar and curved around to Karka (NIV)

The boundary line went on to the town of Hezron, then went uphill to the town of Addar, and turned toward the town of Karka

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-transliterate

לְ⁠מַעֲלֵ֤ה עַקְרַבִּים֙

of_[the],ascent_of akrabbim

Akrabbim is a Hebrew word that the ULT has spelled out using English letters so that readers will know how it sounds. The word means “scorpions” in Hebrew, and here it is the name of a place. In your translation you could spell this name the way it sounds in your language, or you could express its meaning as a name. Alternate translation: [Scorpion Pass]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicitinfo

וְ⁠עָלָ֥ה

and=he/it_would_go_up

As the Introduction to Joshua discusses, in Hebrew, writers and speakers generally indicated whether people were going up to a higher elevation or going down to a lower elevation when they traveled. If your language does not mark travel for change in elevation, you can translate such expressions more simply, here and throughout this chapter. Alternate translation: [then it went]

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

15:1-63 Judah’s tribal allotment is described in greater detail than that of the other tribes. The failures of Judah’s elder brothers (Gen 34:25-31; 35:22) put him in line to receive the mantle of leadership. Thus, the tribe of Judah received a central geographical position among the tribes, guaranteeing its leadership in the nation (Gen 49:8-12; Deut 33:7).
