Judges 1:13-15
Evangelical Heritage Version
13 Othniel son of Kenaz, Caleb’s youngest brother,[a] captured it. So Caleb gave his daughter Aksah to him as his wife.
14 She came to Othniel and pressured him to ask her father for pastureland.[b] As she dismounted from her donkey, Caleb said to her, “What do you want?” 15 She said to him, “Give me this blessing: Since you gave me land in the dry Negev, give me springs of water also.” So Caleb gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.

- Judges 1:13 It is not certain whether Othniel or Kenaz was Caleb’s brother. It seems more likely that it was Kenaz.
- Judges 1:14 As the text is translated here, Aksah urged her husband to ask her father for the land, but he apparently did not do so, which would account for her making the request herself. See Joshua 15:18-19.
