And it happened after the death of Yehoshua, and the sons of Yisra'el asked יהוה, saying, Who will ascend for us against the Kena'ani first, to fight against him?

And יהוה said, Yehudah will ascend. Behold, I have given the land into his hand.

And Yehudah said to Shimon his brother, Ascend with me into my lot, and we will fight against the Kena'ani, and I will also go with you into your lot. And Shimon went with him.

And Yehudah ascended, and יהוה gave the Kena'ani and the Perizzi into their hand, and they struck them in Bezek ten thousand men.

And they found Adoni-Bezek in Bezek, and they fought against him, and they struck the Kena'ani and the Perizzi.

And Adoni-Bezek fled, and they pursued after him, and they seized him, and they cut off the thumbs of his hands and of his feet.

And Adoni-Bezek said, Seventy kings, with the thumbs of their hands and of their feet cut off, were gathering scraps under my table. As I have done, so Elohim has repaid me. And they brought him to Yerushalayim, and he died there.

And the sons of Yehudah fought against Yerushalayim, and they captured it, and they struck it with the edge of the sword, and they sent the city into fire.

And afterward, the sons of Yehudah went down to fight against the Kena'ani dwelling in the hill country, and in the Negev, and in the Shefela.

And Yehudah went against the Kena'ani dwelling in Hevron, and the name of Hevron was formerly Qiryat-Arba, and they struck Sheshai, and Ahiman, and Talmai.

And he went from there against the dwellers of Devir, and the name of Devir was formerly Qiryat-Sefer.

And Kalev said, Whoever strikes Qiryat-Sefer and captures it, I will give him Akzah my daughter as a wife.

And Othniel son of Qenaz, Kalev's brother, the younger than he, captured it, and he gave him Akzah his daughter as a wife.

And it happened when she came, she urged him to ask of her father the field. And she dismounted from the donkey, and Kalev said to her, What is it for you?

And she said to him, Give me a blessing, because you have given me land of the Negev, and you have given me springs of water. And Kalev gave her the springs of the upper land and the springs of the lower land.

And the sons of the Qeniy, Mosheh's father-in-law, went up from the city of the date palms with the sons of Yehudah into the wilderness of Yehudah, which is in the Negev of Arad, and he went and dwelt with the people.

And Yehudah went with Shimon his brother, and they struck the Kena'ani dwelling in Tsofath, and they utterly destroyed it, and they called the name of the city Hormah.

And Yehudah captured Azzah and its territory, and Ashqelon and its territory, and 'Eqron and its territory.

And יהוה was with Yehudah, and he dispossessed the hill country, because he did not dispossess the dwellers of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.

And they gave Hevron to Kalev, as Mosheh had spoken, and he dispossessed from there the three sons of Anak.

And the Yevusiy dwelling in Yerushalayim, the sons of Binyamin did not dispossess, and the Yevusiy dwelt with the sons of Binyamin in Yerushalayim until this day.

And the house of Yosef also went up to Beit-El, and יהוה was with them.

And the house of Yosef spied out Beit-El, and the name of the city was formerly Luz.

And the watchers saw a man coming out of the city, and they said to him, Show us, please, the entrance of the city, and we will do kindness with you.

And he showed them the entrance of the city, and they struck the city with the edge of the sword, and the man and all his family they sent away.

And the man went to the land of the Hittim, and he built a city, and he called its name Luz; it is its name until this day.

And Menasheh did not dispossess Beit-She'an and its villages, nor Ta'anakh and its villages, nor the dwellers of Dor and its villages, nor the dwellers of Yiv'am and its villages, nor the dwellers of Megiddo and its villages; and the Kena'ani was determined to dwell in this land.

And it happened, when Yisra'el became strong, they made the Kena'ani into forced labor, but they did not dispossess them.

And Efrayim did not dispossess the Kena'ani dwelling in Gezer, and the Kena'ani dwelt in their midst in Gezer.

And Zevulun did not dispossess the dwellers of Qitron and the dwellers of Nahalol, and the Kena'ani dwelt in their midst, and they became forced labor.

And Asher did not dispossess the dwellers of 'Akko, and the dwellers of Tsidon, and 'Aḥlav, and 'Akhziv, and Ḥelbah, and Afiq, and Reḥov.

And the Asheriy dwelt in the midst of the Kena'ani, the dwellers of the land, because they did not dispossess them.

And Naftali did not dispossess the dwellers of Beit-Shemesh and the dwellers of Beit-'Anat, and he dwelt in the midst of the Kena'ani, the dwellers of the land, and the dwellers of Beit-Shemesh and Beit-'Anat were forced labor for them.

And the Emoriy pressed the sons of Dan into the hill country, because they did not allow them to go down into the valley.

And the Emoriy was determined to dwell in Har-Ḥeres, in Ayalon, and in Sha'alvim, and the hand of the house of Yosef became heavy, and they became forced labor.

And the border of the Emoriy was from the ascent of 'Aqravim, from the rock and upward.
