15:16  And Caleb said, Who ever should take the City of Letters, and should dominate it, I will give to him Achsah my daughter for a wife.

15:17  And [8took 9it 1Othniel 2son 3of Kenaz 4the 6brother 7of Caleb 5younger]. And he gave to him Achsah his daughter to him for a wife.

15:18  And it came to pass in her going forth, that she advised him, saying, I will ask my father for a field; and she yelled from the donkey. And Caleb said, What is it with you?

15:19  And she said to him, Give a blessing to me! for [3for 4the land 5of the Negev 1you have appointed 2me]. Give to me Golath-maim. And [2gave 3her 1Caleb] Golath-maim the upper part, and Golath the part below.
