Joshua 15:12-18 God's Word Translation (GW)

12. The western border is the coastline of the Mediterranean Sea. These are the borders around Judah that belong to their families.

16. Caleb said, “I will give my daughter Achsah as a wife to anyone who attacks Kiriath Sepher and captures it.”

17. Then Othniel, son of Caleb’s brother Kenaz, captured it. So Caleb gave him his daughter Achsah as a wife.

18. When she came to Othniel, she persuaded him to ask her father for a field. When she got down from her donkey, Caleb asked her, “What do you want?”
