15 De là il monta contre les habitants de Debir: Debir s’appelait autrefois Kirjath-Sépher.

16 Caleb dit: Je donnerai ma fille Acsa pour femme à celui qui battra Kirjath-Sépher et qui la prendra.

17 Othniel, fils de Kenaz, frère de Caleb, s’en empara; et Caleb lui donna pour femme sa fille Acsa.

18 Lorsqu’elle fut entrée chez Othniel, elle le sollicita de demander à son père un champ. Elle descendit de dessus son âne, et Caleb lui dit: Qu’as-tu?

19 Elle répondit: Fais-moi un présent, car tu m’as donné une terre du midi; donne-moi aussi des sources d’eau. Et il lui donna les sources supérieures et les sources inférieures.
