Joshua 15:16-59

¹⁶And Caleb said: He that shall smite Cariath-Sepher, and take it, I will give him Axa my daughter to wife.

¹⁷And Othoniel the son of Cenez, the younger brother of Caleb, took it: and he gave him Axa his daughter to wife.

¹⁸And as they were going together, she was moved by her husband to ask a field of her father, and she sighed as she sat on her ass. And Caleb said to her: What aileth thee?

¹⁹But she answered: Give me a blessing: thou hast given me a southern and dry land, give me also a land that is watered. And Caleb gave her the upper and the nether watery ground.
