This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The family of Judah; either,
1. The tribe or people, as the word family sometimes signifies, as Jud_13:2 Zec_12:13 Amo_3:1 Act_3:25, compared with Rev_1:7. Or,
2. The families, as Jos_7:14, the singular number for the plural, the chief of each of their five families, Num_26:20,21.
Man by man; not every individual person, as is evident from Jos_7:18, but every head of the several houses or lesser families of that greater family of the Zarhites, of which see 1Ch_2:6.
