1 This then was the allocation for the tribe of the children of Judah by their families; reaching to the border of Edom, the wilderness of Zin southward was the farthest part of the southern coast.
2 And their southern border was from the shore of the Salt Sea, from the bay that faces southward:
3 And it extended to the south of Maalehacrabbim, proceeded to Zin, ascended on the south side to Kadeshbarnea, passed by Hezron, went up to Adar, and circled around to Karkaa:
4 From there it passed toward Azmon and extended to the river of Egypt; and the end of that coast was at the sea: this shall be your southern coast.
5 And the east border was the Salt Sea, up to the end of Jordan. And their north border was from the bay of the sea at the extremity of Jordan:
6 And the border went up to Bethhogla, passed by the north of Betharabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan, the son of Reuben:
7 And the border went up toward Debir from the Valley of Achor, and turned northward toward Gilgal, which is opposite the ascent of Adummim, which is on the south side of the river: and the border passed toward the waters of Enshemesh, and ended at Enrogel:
8 And the border went up by the Valley of the Son of Hinnom to the south of the Jebusite; this is Jerusalem: and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lies before the Valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the end of the Valley of the Giants northward:
9 And the border was drawn from the top of the hill to the fountain of the water of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of Mount Ephron; and the border was drawn to Baalah, which is Kirjathjearim:
10 And the border circled from Baalah westward to Mount Seir, passed along to the side of Mount Jearim, which is Chesalon, on the north side, and went down to Bethshemesh, and passed on to Timnah:
11 And the border went out to the side of Ekron northward: and the border was drawn to Shicron, passed along to Mount Baalah, and went out to Jabneel; and the end of the border was at the sea.
