13.   Now to Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a share among the children of Judah, according to the commandment of the LORD to Joshua, namely , Kirjath Arba, which is Hebron ( Arba was the father of Anak). 14.   Caleb drove out the three sons of Anak from there: Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of Anak. 15.   Then he went up from there to the inhabitants of Debir (formerly the name of Debir was Kirjath Sepher). 16.   And Caleb said, "He who attacks Kirjath Sepher and takes it, to him I will give Achsah my daughter as wife." 17.   So Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it; and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife. 18.   Now it was so, when she came to him , that she persuaded him to ask her father for a field. So she dismounted from her donkey, and Caleb said to her, "What do you wish?" 19.   She answered, "Give me a blessing; since you have given me land in the South, give me also springs of water." So he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs. 20.   This was the inheritance of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families: 21.   The cities at the limits of the tribe of the children of Judah, toward the border of Edom in the South, were Kabzeel, Eder, Jagur, 22.   Kinah, Dimonah, Adadah, 23.   Kedesh, Hazor, Ithnan, 24.   Ziph, Telem, Bealoth, 25.   Hazor, Hadattah, Kerioth, Hezron (which is Hazor), 26.   Amam, Shema, Moladah, 27.   Hazar Gaddah, Heshmon, Beth Pelet, 28.   Hazar Shual, Beersheba, Bizjothjah, 29.   Baalah, Ijim, Ezem, 30.   Eltolad, Chesil, Hormah, 31.   Ziklag, Madmannah, Sansannah, 32.   Lebaoth, Shilhim, Ain, and Rimmon: all the cities are twenty–nine, with their villages. 33.   In the lowland: Eshtaol, Zorah, Ashnah, 34.   Zanoah, En Gannim, Tappuah, Enam, 35.   Jarmuth, Adullam, Socoh, Azekah, 36.   Sharaim, Adithaim, Gederah, and Gederothaim: fourteen cities with their villages; 37.   Zenan, Hadashah, Migdal Gad, 38.   Dilean, Mizpah, Joktheel, 39.   Lachish, Bozkath, Eglon, 40.   Cabbon, Lahmas, Kithlish, 41.   Gederoth, Beth Dagon, Naamah, and Makkedah: sixteen cities with their villages; 42.   Libnah, Ether, Ashan, 43.   Jiphtah, Ashnah, Nezib, 44.   Keilah, Achzib, and Mareshah: nine cities with their villages; 45.   Ekron, with its towns and villages; 46.   from Ekron to the sea, all that lay near Ashdod, with their villages; 47.   Ashdod with its towns and villages, Gaza with its towns and villages––as far as the Brook of Egypt and the Great Sea with its coastline. 48.   And in the mountain country: Shamir, Jattir, Sochoh, 49.   Dannah, Kirjath Sannah (which is Debir), 50.   Anab, Eshtemoh, Anim, 51.   Goshen, Holon, and Giloh: eleven cities with their villages; 52.   Arab, Dumah, Eshean, 53.   Janum, Beth Tappuah, Aphekah, 54.   Humtah, Kirjath Arba (which is Hebron), and Zior: nine cities with their villages; 55.   Maon, Carmel, Ziph, Juttah, 56.   Jezreel, Jokdeam, Zanoah, 57.   Kain, Gibeah, and Timnah: ten cities with their villages; 58.   Halhul, Beth Zur, Gedor, 59.   Maarath, Beth Anoth, and Eltekon: six cities with their villages; 60.   Kirjath Baal (which is Kirjath Jearim) and Rabbah: two cities with their villages. 61.   In the wilderness: Beth Arabah, Middin, Secacah, 62.   Nibshan, the City of Salt, and En Gedi: six cities with their villages. 63.   As for the Jebusites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the children of Judah could not drive them out; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem to this day.

1.   Come near, you nations, to hear; And heed, you people! Let the earth hear, and all that is in it, The world and all things that come forth from it. 2.   For the indignation of the LORD is against all nations, And His fury against all their armies; He has utterly destroyed them, He has given them over to the slaughter. 3.   Also their slain shall be thrown out; Their stench shall rise from their corpses, And the mountains shall be melted with their blood. 4.   All the host of heaven shall be dissolved, And the heavens shall be rolled up like a scroll; All their host shall fall down As the leaf falls from the vine, And as fruit falling from a fig tree. 5.   "For My sword shall be bathed in heaven; Indeed it shall come down on Edom, And on the people of My curse, for judgment. 6.   The sword of the LORD is filled with blood, It is made overflowing with fatness, With the blood of lambs and goats, With the fat of the kidneys of rams. For the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah, And a great slaughter in the land of Edom. 7.   The wild oxen shall come down with them, And the young bulls with the mighty bulls; Their land shall be soaked with blood, And their dust saturated with fatness." 8.   For it is the day of the LORD’S vengeance, The year of recompense for the cause of Zion. 9.   Its streams shall be turned into pitch, And its dust into brimstone; Its land shall become burning pitch. 10.   It shall not be quenched night or day; Its smoke shall ascend forever. From generation to generation it shall lie waste; No one shall pass through it forever and ever. 11.   But the pelican and the porcupine shall possess it, Also the owl and the raven shall dwell in it. And He shall stretch out over it The line of confusion and the stones of emptiness. 12.   They shall call its nobles to the kingdom, But none shall be there, and all its princes shall be nothing. 13.   And thorns shall come up in its palaces, Nettles and brambles in its fortresses; It shall be a habitation of jackals, A courtyard for ostriches. 14.   The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the jackals, And the wild goat shall bleat to its companion; Also the night creature shall rest there, And find for herself a place of rest. 15.   There the arrow snake shall make her nest and lay eggs And hatch, and gather them under her shadow; There also shall the hawks be gathered, Every one with her mate. 16.   "Search from the book of the LORD, and read: Not one of these shall fail; Not one shall lack her mate. For My mouth has commanded it, and His Spirit has gathered them. 17.   He has cast the lot for them, And His hand has divided it among them with a measuring line. They shall possess it forever; From generation to generation they shall dwell in it."

1.   Now I say that the heir, as long as he is a child, does not differ at all from a slave, though he is master of all, 2.   but is under guardians and stewards until the time appointed by the father. 3.   Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world. 4.   But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5.   to redeem those who were under the law, that we might receive the adoption as sons. 6.   And because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into your hearts, crying out, "Abba, Father!" 7.   Therefore you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. 8.   But then, indeed, when you did not know God, you served those which by nature are not gods. 9.   But now after you have known God, or rather are known by God, how is it that you turn again to the weak and beggarly elements, to which you desire again to be in bondage? 10.   You observe days and months and seasons and years. 11.   I am afraid for you, lest I have labored for you in vain. 12.   Brethren, I urge you to become like me, for I became like you. You have not injured me at all. 13.   You know that because of physical infirmity I preached the gospel to you at the first. 14.   And my trial which was in my flesh you did not despise or reject, but you received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus. 15.   What then was the blessing you enjoyed ? For I bear you witness that, if possible, you would have plucked out your own eyes and given them to me. 16.   Have I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth? 17.   They zealously court you, but for no good; yes, they want to exclude you, that you may be zealous for them. 18.   But it is good to be zealous in a good thing always, and not only when I am present with you. 19.   My little children, for whom I labor in birth again until Christ is formed in you, 20.   I would like to be present with you now and to change my tone; for I have doubts about you. 21.   Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not hear the law? 22.   For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, the other by a freewoman. 23.   But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he of the freewoman through promise, 24.   which things are symbolic. For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar–– 25.   for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children–– 26.   but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all. 27.   For it is written: "Rejoice, O barren, You who do not bear! Break forth and shout, You who are not in labor! For the desolate has many more children Than she who has a husband." 28.   Now we, brethren, as Isaac was , are children of promise. 29.   But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now. 30.   Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? "Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman." 31.   So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free.
