ak´sa (עכסה, ‛akhsÌ£aÌ„h; in some copies עכס×, ‛akhsÌ£aÌ„' in ), “ankletâ€): The daughter of Caleb whom he gave in marriage to his younger kinsman Othniel the son of Kenaz, as a reward for smiting Kiriath-sepher (; ). Caleb, the narrative says, established Achsah in the South-country, and in addition, at her asking, gave her certain important springs of water - the “upper basins†and the “nether basins.†Professor G. F. Moore identifies these with the groups of springs in Seit ed-Dilbeh (notes on Jdg in Polychrome Bible).
