151 The lot for the people of Judah, their clans, extended south to the border of Edom, to the wilderness of Zin in the extreme south. 2 The southern border ran from the tip of the Salt Sea south of The Tongue; 3 it ran southward from Scorpions Pass, went around Zin and just south of Kadesh Barnea; then it ran past Hezron, ascended to Addar, and curved around to Karka; 4 from there it passed along to Azmon, came out at the Brook of Egypt, ending at the Sea. This is the southern boundary.

(Read Joshua 15:1-12)
Joshua allotted to Judah, Ephraim, and the half of Manasseh, their inheritances before they left Gilgal. Afterwards removing to Shiloh, another survey was made, and the other tribes had their portion assigned. In due time all God's people are settled.
