Exegesis
The demonstrative zôt {זֹאת | zôt} ‘this’ introduces the appositional NP naḥălat maṭṭeh bənê-šim‘ôn lĕmišpāḥōtām {נַחֲלַת מַטֵּה בְנֵי־שִׁמְעוֹן לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָם | na-ḥă-lat maṭ-tê bə-nê-šim-’ôn lə-miš-pā-ḥō-tām} ‘the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Simeon according to their families.’ This verbless clause expresses possession and clan-based land allotment. English renderings shift the relative clause for readability while preserving the original boundary and division emphasis.
