Achsah bat Caleb (Template:IPAc-en; Hebrew: עַכְסָה, also Acsah), was Caleb ben Yefune's only daughter. Her name comes from the word for "anklet", עכס (ekes).[1]
She was offered in marriage to the man who would lead an attack on the city of Debir, also called Kirjath-sepher/Kirjath-sannah. This was done by Othniel, Caleb's nephew or younger brother, who accordingly was permitted to marry her.[2]
Achsah later requested, and was given, upper and lower springs of water (presumably in the Negev) from her father.[3]
Various Septuagint manuscripts, in various passages, give her name as Ascha, Achsa, Aza, and Oxa.[4]
