Joshua 15:1-16-17 The Message (MSG)

1. The lot for the people of Judah, their clans, extended south to the border of Edom, to the wilderness of Zin in the extreme south.

12. The western border: the coastline of the Great Sea.This is the boundary around the people of Judah for their clans.

13. Joshua gave Caleb son of Jephunneh a section among the people of Judah, according to God’s command. He gave him Kiriath Arba, that is, Hebron. Arba was the ancestor of Anak.

14-15. Caleb drove out three Anakim from Hebron: Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, all descendants of Anak. He marched up from there against the people of Debir. Debir used to be called Kiriath Sepher.

16-17. Caleb said, “Whoever attacks Kiriath Sepher and takes it, I’ll give my daughter Acsah to him as his wife.” Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb’s brother, took it; so Caleb gave him his daughter Acsah as his wife.
