‏ Judges 1:15

15 She answered, “Please give me a special present. ^{▼▼tn Elsewhere the Hebrew word בְרָכָה (verakhah) is often translated “blessing,” but here it refers to a gift (as in Gen 33:11; 1 Sam 25:27; 30:26; 2 Kgs 5:15).} Since you have given me land in the Negev, now give me springs of water.” So Caleb gave her both the upper and lower springs. ^{▼▼tn Some translations regard the expressions “springs of water” (גֻּלֹּת מָיִם, gullot mayim) and “springs” (גֻּלֹּת) as place names here (cf. NRSV).}
