Joshua 15 · Grade 3
A Blessing of Springs
Read the Story
The lot for the tribe of Judah went south to the border of Edom and the wilderness of Zin. Its east border was the Salt Sea, and its west border was the Great Sea.
Caleb received Kiriath Arba, also called Hebron. Othniel, the son of Caleb's brother Kenaz, took Kiriath Sepher. Achsah, Caleb's daughter, became his wife.
Achsah came to her father on her donkey. 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. The chapter then lists the many cities of Judah.
