A Bold and Wise Request
Achsah received a "south land," which commentators explain was a dry, arid region. Recognizing the land's deficiency, she wisely and boldly approached her father, Caleb, not with a complaint, but with a specific request for a "blessing" of water springs. This serves as a model for believers to proactively and specifically ask for what they need to make their God-given inheritance fruitful.
