11 And continuing on from there, he went to the inhabitants of Debir, the old name of which was Kiriath-Sepher, that is, the City of Letters.
12 And Caleb said, 'Whoever will strike Kiriath-Sepher, and will lay waste to it, I will give to him my daughter Achsah as wife.'
13 And when Othniel, the son of Kenaz, a younger brother of Caleb, had seized it, he gave his daughter Achsah to him in marriage.
14 And as she was traveling on a journey, her husband admonished her, so that she would request a field from her father. And since she had sighed while sitting on her donkey, Caleb said to her, 'What is it?'
15 But she responded: 'Give a blessing to me. For you have given me a dry land. Also give a watered land.' Therefore, Caleb gave to her the upper watered land and the lower watered land.
