The meaning of Achsah in the Bible
(From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)
ak'-sa ('akhchah; in some copies 'akhca' in I Chronicles 2:49), "anklet"): 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 (Joshua 15:16 ff.; Judges 1:12 ff.). 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).
