The Allotment for Judah

15 The allotment for the tribe of the people of Judah according to their clans reached southward ^(A)to the boundary of Edom, to ^(B)the wilderness of Zin at the farthest south.

⁵⁵ But the land shall be ^(A)divided by lot. According to the names of the tribes of their fathers they shall inherit. ⁵⁶ Their inheritance shall be divided according to lot between the larger and the smaller.”

¹⁹ “On the south side, it shall run from ^(A)Tamar as far as ^(B)the waters of Meribah-kadesh, from there along ^(C)the Brook of Egypt^[a] to ^(D)the Great Sea. This shall be the south side.

² Their inheritance was ^(A)by lot, just as the Lord had commanded by the hand of Moses for the nine and one-half tribes.

^3 (A)your south side shall be from the wilderness of Zin alongside Edom, and your southern border shall run from the end of ^(B)the Salt Sea on the east. ⁴ And your border shall turn south of ^(C)the ascent of Akrabbim, and cross to Zin, and its limit shall be south of Kadesh-barnea. Then it shall go on to ^(D)Hazar-addar, and pass along to Azmon. ⁵ And the border shall turn ^(E)from Azmon to ^(F)the Brook of Egypt, and its limit shall be at the sea.

³⁶ And they set out from Ezion-geber and camped in the ^(A)wilderness of Zin (that is, Kadesh). ³⁷ And they set out from ^(B)Kadesh and camped at ^(C)Mount Hor, on the edge of the land of Edom.
