Joshua 15
|
 (15:1-13) "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."
|
| 15:1
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. |
|
| 15:2
And their south border was from the shore of the salt sea, from the bay
that looketh southward: |
|
| 15:3
And it went out to the south side to Maalehacrabbim, and passed along to
Zin, and ascended up on the south side unto Kadeshbarnea, and passed along
to Hezron, and went up to Adar, and fetched a compass to Karkaa: |
|
| 15:4
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. |
|
| 15:5
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: |
|
| 15:6
And the border went up to Bethhogla, and passed along by the north of
Betharabah; and the border went up to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben: |
|
| 15:7
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 Enshemesh, and the goings out thereof were at Enrogel: |
|
| 15:8
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: |
|
| 15:9
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 Kirjathjearim: |
|
| 15:10
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 Bethshemesh, and passed on to Timnah: |
|
| 15:11
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. |
|
| 15:12
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. |
|
| 15:13
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. |
 (15:14) "Caleb drove thence ... the children of Anak"
Who drove the Anakim from Hebron?
 (15:16-17)
Caleb offers to give his daughter to whoever conquers the city of Debir. Caleb's nephew wins the contest
and is given his cousin for a prize.
(15:16) "Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjathsepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife."
(15:17) "And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife."
|
| 15:14
And Caleb drove thence the three sons of Anak, Sheshai, and Ahiman, and
Talmai, the children of Anak.
|
| 15:15
And he went up thence to the inhabitants of Debir: and the name of Debir
before was Kirjathsepher.
|
| 15:16 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kirjathsepher, and taketh it, to him will
I give Achsah my daughter to wife.
|
| 15:17 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave
him Achsah his daughter to wife.
|
| 15:18
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?
|
| 15:19
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. |
(15:20-62) "This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families ...
Ziph, and Telem, and Bealoth, And Hazor, Hadattah, and Kerioth, and Hezron, which is Hazor...."
(15:20, 33)
"This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah ... Eshtaol, and Zoreah."
To whom were the cities of Exhtaol
and Zoreah given?
|
| 15:20
This is the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah according to
their families.
|
| 15:21

 (15:63) "As for the Jebusites the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children of Judah could not drive them
out; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem unto
this day."
God promised the Israelites that he would
drive out all the inhabitants of the lands they pass through. (See
Ex.33:2; Dt.7:1,
7:24, 9:4-6,
31:3-7; Jos.1:1-5,
3:10, 17:17-18,
21:41-43) But this verse
shows that he didn't keep his promise since he couldn't drive out the Jebusites.

As for the Jebusites the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children of Judah could not drive them

this day.
