Hebron given to Caleb, Kiriath Sepher taken by Othniel, and the springs Achsah asks for
갈렙이 받은 헤브론, 옷니엘이 취한 기럇 세벨, 악사가 구한 샘물
Joshua 15:13–19: “He gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh a portion among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua, even Kiriath Arba, named after the father of Anak (also called Hebron).” WEB does not say who gave it, where the Korean Revised Version names Joshua; and where WEB says “named after the father of Anak”, the Korean Revised Version says that Arba was the father of Anak. Caleb drives out the three sons of Anak: Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak. He goes up against the inhabitants of Debir: now the name of Debir before was Kiriath Sepher. Caleb says, “He who strikes Kiriath Sepher, and takes it, to him I will give Achsah my daughter as wife.” Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, takes it, and Caleb gives him Achsah his daughter as wife. When she comes, she has him ask her father for a field. She gets off her donkey, and Caleb says, “What do you want?” She says, “Give me a blessing. Because you have set me in the land of the South, give me also springs of water.” So he gives her the upper springs and the lower springs.
