Exegesis
The verse opens with the prepositional phrase mechevel {מֵחֶ֙בֶל֙ | mê-ḥé-vel} ‘from the portion’, forming a construct with benei Yehudah {בְּנֵ֣י יְהוּדָ֔ה | bĕ-nḗ Yĕ-hû-dā́h} ‘sons of Judah’ to establish territorial origin.
In context — Joshua 19:9
From the portion of the sons of Judah came the inheritance of the sons of Simeon, for the portion of the sons of Judah was more abundant than they needed; therefore the sons of Simeon inherited amidst their inheritance.
