“This then was the lot of the tribe of the children of Judah by their families; even to the border of Edom the wilderness of Zin southward was the uttermost part of the south coast.”
Judah's lot cast — The lot of the tribe of the children of Judah according to their families was thus: even to the border of Edom in the south, unto the wilderness of Zin southward. The formal description of Judah's allotment begins. Judah receives the southern territory—from Edom in the south (the southern border) to the wilderness of Zin. The casting of lots establishes the divine assignment of tribal territories. Judah's southern position makes it the guardian of Israel's southern frontier.
