Exegesis
The imperative chilku {חִלְקוּ | ḥil-kû} governs the construct expression shelal-oyveichem {שְׁלַל־אֹיְבֵיכֶם | šəlāl-’ōy-vey-chem}, with im-acheichem {עִם־אֲחֵיכֶם | ʿim-’ă-ḥê-chem} marking recipients. The structure highlights communal responsibility for equitable sharing of captured wealth.
In context — Joshua 22:8
And he charged them, “Return to your tents carrying many possessions and very abundant herds , with silver, gold, bronze, iron, and a very large supply of garments. Share out the booty from your enemies with your brothers.”
