Gill's Notes on the Bible

And he brought the family of Judah,.... That is, the tribe of Judah, as Kimchi and Ben Melech interpret it, z; or rather, the several families in that tribe, even the heads of them:

and he took the family of the Zarhites: which descended from Zerah the son of Judah; that was taken by lot:

and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by man; and cast lots on them:

and Zabdi was taken: that part of the family of the Zarhites which sprung from Zabdi, a son of Zerah.

z So R. Sol. Ohel Moed, fol. 94. 2.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Joshua 7:17. And he brought the family of Judah — Dr. Kennicott observes, "All Israel came near by TRIBES, and one tribe was fixed on; then that tribe came by its FAMILIES, and one family was fixed on; then came that family by its HOUSEHOLDS, and one household was fixed on, and then that household, coming MAN by MAN, one man was fixed on. Yet according to the present text, in the execution of this command, all Israel came, and the tribe of Judah was fixed on; secondly came the families of Judah, and the family of the Zarhites was fixed on; thirdly came the family of the Zarhites MAN by MAN, and Zabdi was fixed on; and fourthly came the household of Zabdi MAN by MAN, and Achan was fixed on. So that in the third article the word for by households is most certainly left out; and the fourth article, man by man, is improperly expressed twice. Instead of לגברים laggebarim, MAN by MAN, in Joshua 7:17, the true word לבתים labbottim, by HOUSEHOLDS, is preserved in six Hebrew copies, and the Syriac version. By this method was discovered Achan, as he is here five times called, though the valley in which he was stoned is called Achor. He is also called Achar in the text, and in all the versions, in 1 Chronicles 2:7. He is called Achar in the five places of Joshua in the Syrian version; also in all five in the Greek of the Vatican MS., and twice in the Alexandrian MS., and so in Josephus." - Kennicott's Observat.
