Achsah

Achsah was a courageous and beautiful woman who played an important role in the history of Israel. She was the only daughter of Caleb ben Yefune, and her name means "adorned" or "bursting the veil." When Caleb conquered the city of Debir, he promised to give Achsah to the man who would lead the attack. Othniel, Caleb's brother's son, was the one who led the attack, and so he won Achsah's hand in marriage. After she married Othniel, Achsah asked for and received two springs of water from her father. These springs were located in the Negev, and they provided water for Achsah's family and for the people of Debir. Hello, my name is Achsah. I am the daughter of Caleb ben Yefune and the wife of Othniel. I am a strong and independent woman who played an important role in the history of Israel.
