KJVFrom thence it passed^H5674^(H8804) toward Azmon^H6111, and went out^H3318^(H8804) unto the river^H5158 of Egypt^H4714; and the goings out^H8444 of that coast^H1366 were at the sea^H3220: this shall be your south^H5045 coast^H1366.

⁹ The border extended from the top of the mountain to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah, and went out to the cities of Mount Ephron; and the border extended to Baalah (also called Kiriath Jearim);

KJVAnd the border^H1366 was drawn^H8388^(H8804) from the top^H7218 of the hill^H2022 unto the fountain^H4599 of the water^H4325 of Nephtoah^H5318, and went out^H3318^(H8804) to the cities^H5892 of mount^H2022 Ephron^H6085; and the border^H1366 was drawn^H8388^(H8804) to Baalah^H1173, which is Kirjathjearim^H7157:

KJVAnd the border^H1366 went out^H3318^(H8804) unto the side^H3802 of Ekron^H6138 northward^H6828: and the border^H1366 was drawn^H8388^(H8804) to Shicron^H7942, and passed along^H5674^(H8804) to mount^H2022 Baalah^H1173, and went out^H3318^(H8804) unto Jabneel^H2995; and the goings out^H8444 of the border^H1366 were at the sea^H3220.

¹⁶ Caleb said, “He who strikes Kiriath Sepher, and takes it, to him I will give Achsah my daughter as wife.”

KJVAnd Caleb^H3612 said^H559^(H8799), He that smiteth^H5221^(H8686) Kirjathsepher^H7158, and taketh^H3920^(H8804) it, to him will I give^H5414^(H8804) Achsah^H5915 my daughter^H1323 to wife^H802.

¹⁹ She said, “Give me a blessing. Because you have set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water.” So he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.

KJVWho answered^H559^(H8799), Give^H5414^(H8798) me a blessing^H1293; for thou hast given^H5414^(H8804) me a south^H5045 land^H776; give^H5414^(H8804) me also springs^H1543 of water^H4325. And he gave^H5414^(H8799) her the upper^H5942 springs^H1543, and the nether^H8482 springs^H1543.
