Joshua 15

Loddet faldt for Judæernes Stamme efter deres Slægter således, at deres Landområd strækker sig hen, imod Edoms Område, Zins Ørken mod Syd, yderst mod Syd.

This then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah by their families; even to the border of Edom the wilderness of Zin southward was the uttermost part of the south coast.

Deres Sydgrænse begynder ved Enden af Salthavet, ved den sydlige Bugt,

And their south border was from the shore of the salt sea, from the bay that looketh southward:

og løber sønden om Akrabbimpasset, går videre til Zin, strækker sig opad sønden om Kadesj-Barnea og går derpå videre til Hezron og op til Addar; så drejer den om mod Karka'a,

And it went out to the south side to Maaleh–acrabbim, and passed along to Zin, and ascended up on the south side unto Kadesh–barnea, and passed along to Hezron, and went up to Adar, and fetched a compass to Karkaa:

går videre til Azmon og fortsætter til Ægyptens Bæk; så ender Grænsen ved Havet. Det er deres Sydgrænse.

From thence it passed toward Azmon, and went out unto the river of Egypt; and the goings out of that coast were at the sea: this shall be your south coast.

Østgrænsen er Salthavet indtil Jordans Udløb. Nordgrænsen begynder ved Havets Bugt ved Jordans Udløb;

And the east border was the salt sea, even unto the end of Jordan. And their border in the north quarter was from the bay of the sea at the uttermost part of Jordan:

derpå strækker Grænsen sig opad til Bet Hogla og går videre norden om Bet Araba; så strækker Grænsen sig opad til Rubens Søn Bohans Sten;

And the border went up to Beth–hogla, and passed along by the north of Beth–arabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben:

derpå strækker Grænsen sig fra Akors Dal op til Debir og drejer nordpå til Gilgal, som ligger lige over for Adummimpasset sønden for Dalen; derefter går Grænsen videre over til Vandet ved Sjemesjkilden og ender ved Rogelkilden;

And the border went up toward Debir from the valley of Achor, and so northward, looking toward Gilgal, that is before the going up to Adummim, which is on the south side of the river: and the border passed toward the waters of En–shemesh, and the goings out thereof were at En–rogel:

derpå strækker Grænsen sig op i Hinnoms Søns Dal til Sydsiden af Jebusiternes Bjergryg, det er Jerusalem; derpå strækker Grænsen sig op til Toppen af Bjerget lige vesten for Hinnoms Dal ved Refaimdalens Nordende;

And the border went up by the valley of the son of Hinnom unto the south side of the Jebusite; the same is Jerusalem: and the border went up to the top of the mountain that lieth before the valley of Hinnom westward, which is at the end of the valley of the giants northward:

derpå bøjer Grænsen fra Toppen af dette Bjerg ben til Neftoas Vandkilde og løber videre til Byerne på Efronbjerget; så bøjer Grænsen om til Ba'ala, det er Kirjat-Jearim;

And the border was drawn from the top of the hill unto 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 Kirjath–jearim:

derpå drejer Grænsen om fra Ba'ala mod Vest til Seirbjerget, går videre til Jearimbjergets nordre Udløber, det er Kesalon: så strækker den sig ned til Bet Sjemesj og går videre til Timna;

And the border compassed from Baalah westward unto mount Seir, and passed along unto the side of mount Jearim, which is Chesalon, on the north side, and went down to Beth–shemesh, and passed on to Timnah:

derpå løber Grænsen i nordlig Retning til Bjergryggen ved Ekron; så bøjer Grænsen om til Sjikkaron, går videre til Ba'alabjerget, løber til Jabne'el og ender ved Havet.

And the border went out unto the side of Ekron northward: and the border was drawn to Shicron, and passed along to mount Baalah, and went out unto Jabneel; and the goings out of the border were at the sea.

Vestgrænsen er det store Hav. Det er Grænsen rundt om Judæernes Område efter deres Slægter.

And the west border was to the great sea, and the coast thereof. This is the coast of the children of Judah round about according to their families.

Men Kaleb, Jefunnes Søn, gav han et Stykke Land imellem Judæerne efter HERRENs Befaling til Josua: Anaks Stamfader Arbas By, det er Hebron;

And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a part among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua, even the city of Arba the father of Anak, which city is Hebron.

og Kaleb drev de tre Anakiter bort derfra, Sjesjaj, Abiman og Talmaj, der nedstammede fra Anak.

And Caleb drove thence the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak.

Derfra drog han op mod Debirs Indbyggere; Debir hed fordum Kirjat Sefer.

And he went up thence to the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir before was Kirjath–sepher.

Da sagde Kaleb: "Den, som slår Kirjat Sefer og indtager det, giver jeg min datter Aksa til Hustru!"

And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjath–sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife.

Og da Benizziten Otniel, Kalebs Broder, indtog det, gav han ham sin Datter Aksa til Hustru.

And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife.

Men da hun kom til ham, æggede han hende til at bede sin Fader om Agerland. Hun sprang da ned af Æselet, og Kaleb spurgte hende: "Hvad vil du?"

And it came to pass, as she came unto him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she lighted off her ass; and Caleb said unto her, What wouldest thou?

Hun svarede: "Giv mig en Velsignelse!" Siden du har bortgiftet mig i det tørre Sydland, må du give mig Vandkilder!" Da gav han hende de øvre og de nedre Vandkilder.

Who answered, Give me a blessing; for thou hast given me a south land; give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs, and the nether springs.
