13 Now (A)he gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh a portion (B)among the sons of Judah, according to the [a]command of Yahweh to Joshua, namely, [b]Kiriath-arba, Arba being the father of Anak (that is, Hebron). 14 (C)And Caleb dispossessed from there the three (D)sons of Anak: Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai, the children of Anak. 15 Then (E)he went up from there against the inhabitants of Debir; now the name of Debir formerly was Kiriath-sepher. 16 And Caleb said, “The one who strikes down Kiriath-sepher and captures it, [c]I will give him Achsah my daughter as a wife.” 17 (F)And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, captured it; so he gave him Achsah his daughter as a wife. 18 (G)Now it happened that when she came to him, she enticed him to ask her father for a field. So she alighted from the donkey, and Caleb said to her, “What do you want?” 19 Then she said, “Give me a blessing; since you have given me the land of the [d]Negev, give me also springs of water.” So he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.

13 And unto Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a portion among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of Jehovah to Joshua, even [a]Kiriath-arba, which Arba was the father of Anak (the same is Hebron). 14 And Caleb drove out thence the three sons of Anak: Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak. 15 And he went up thence against the inhabitants of Debir: now the name of Debir beforetime was Kiriath-sepher. 16 And Caleb said, He that smiteth Kiriath-sepher, and taketh it, to him will I give Achsah my daughter to wife. 17 And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Achsah his daughter to wife. 18 And it came to pass, when she came unto him, that she moved him to ask of her father a field: and she alighted from off her ass; and Caleb said, What wouldest thou? 19 And she said, Give me a [b]blessing; for that thou hast [c]set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water. And he gave her the upper springs and the nether springs.
