Yehoshua 15:9-15 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

9. From the top of the har the boundary ran unto the source of Nephtoach Spring, and went out to the towns of Har Ephron; and the boundary went to Baalah (that is, Kiryat Yearim);

10. And the boundary curved from Baalah westward unto Mt Seir, and ran along unto the slope of Mt Yearim (that is, Kesalon), on the north side, and went down to Beit Shemesh, and passed on to Timnah;

11. And the boundary went out unto the side of Ekron northward; and the boundary ran over to Shikkeron, and passed along to Mt Baalah, and went out unto Yavne'el; and the boundary ended at the Yam [Mediterranean Sea].

12. And the western boundary is HaYamah HaGadol, and the coast thereof. This is the boundary around the Bnei Yehudah according to their mishpekhot.

13. And unto Kalev ben Yephunneh he gave chelek among the Bnei Yehudah, according to the commandment of Hashem to Yehoshua, even Kiryat-Arba (avi HaAnak), which is Chevron.

14. And Kalev drove from there the three Bnei Anak: Sheshai and Achiman and Talmai, the descendants of Anak.

15. And he went up from there to the inhabitants of Devir; and the shem of Devir formerly was Kiryat Sefer.
