The area assigned to Yehudah’s descendants

Jos 15:1–12

15:1 The area assigned to Yehudah’s descendants

15This was the land that was assigned to Yehudah’s descendants according to their clans:

It went from the Zin wilderness in the south to the border with Edom, 2and their southern border was the south-facing bay at the end of the Dead Sea (also called the Salt Sea). 3From there it went south of the Scorpion Pass, across to Zin, climbed up to Kadesh-Barnea, crossed to Hezron, went to Addar, and around to Karka. 4Then it crosses to Azmon and out to the Egyptian riverbed and finishes at the Mediterranean sea. That will be their southern border.

5The eastern border was the Dead Sea as far as the end of the Yordan.

The northern border starts at the top of the Dead Sea where the Yordan river enters it 6then to Beyt-Hoglah and further north to Beyt-Arabah to the Stone of Bohan (Reuben’s son). 7Then the border went to Debir from the Akor Valley, and to the north, turning to the Gilgal, which is in front of the Adummim pass which is from the south of the riverbed, then the border passed over to the waters of En-Shemesh and its ends at En-Rogel. 8From there the border went up the valley of Ben Hinnom to the edge of the Yebusite region from the south (that is Yerushalem). Then the border went to the head of the hill opposite the Hinnom valley to the west, which is at the end of the valley of the Refa’ites to the north. 9From there the border turned from the head of the hill to the Neftoah spring and went out to the cities of Mt. Efron, then the border turned to Ba’alah (now called Kiriat-Yearim). 10Then the border went around from Ba’alah to the west to Mt. Seir, and passed over to the shoulder of Mt. Yearim from the north (also called Kesalon), and went down to Beyt-Shemesh, and passed over to Timnah. 11From there the border went out to the shoulder of Ekron to the north, then turned toward Shikkeron and passed over to Mt. Baalah, and went out to Yabneel, then the border ended at the sea. 12The western border was the Mediterranean Sea. Those were the borders of the land given to Yehudah’s descendants to be allocated to their clans.
