Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(2) And there remained . . . seven tribes, which had not yet received . . . inheritance.--This statement is well worthy of notice, as illustrating the character of the Israelites in a manner which is thoroughly true to nature. The conquest of the Canaanitish armies being completed, the two leading divisions of the host of Israel took possession of their shares of the conquered territory. The house of Judah and the house of Joseph were satisfied. This done, the weaker tribes were left to take care of themselves. They did not venture to select their own portions; the others did not come forward to offer them anything. Thus there remained, for a time, seven tribes which had not received their inheritance.Parallel Commentaries ...Hebrewthere were stillוַיִּוָּֽתְרוּ֙ (way·yiw·wā·ṯə·rū)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Nifal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine pluralStrong's 3498: To jut over, exceed, to excel, to remain, be left, to leave, cause to abound, preservesevenשִׁבְעָ֖ה (šiḇ·‘āh)Number - masculine singularStrong's 7651: Seven, seven times, a week, an indefinite numbertribesשְׁבָטִֽים׃ (šə·ḇā·ṭîm)Noun - masculine pluralStrong's 7626: Rod, staff, club, scepter, tribeof Israelיִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל (yiś·rā·’êl)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3478: Israel -- 'God strives', another name of Jacob and his descwhoאֲשֶׁ֥ר (’ă·šer)Pronoun - relativeStrong's 834: Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order thathad notלֹֽא־ (lō-)Adverb - Negative particleStrong's 3808: Not, noyet receivedחָלְק֖וּ (ḥā·lə·qū)Verb - Qal - Perfect - third person common pluralStrong's 2505: To be smooth, to apportion, separatetheir inheritance.נַֽחֲלָתָ֑ם (na·ḥă·lā·ṯām)Noun - feminine singular construct | third person masculine pluralStrong's 5159: Something inherited, occupancy, an heirloom, an estate, patrimony, portionJump to PreviousApportioned Children Distributed Divided Heritage Inheritance Israel Israelite Received Seven Shared Tribes
