Exegesis
The causal conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} ‘because’ leads to lonaplah {לֹא־נָפְלָה | lō-nāp̄-lāh} ‘not fallen’ together with adhayyom {עַד־הַיּוֹם | ʿad-ha-yôm} ‘until the day’, indicating the boundary of the tribe’s grant entitlement.
In context — Judges 18:1
In that era there was no king in Israel, and the Danite tribe was looking for its own inheritance to live in, because up to that time no inheritance had been assigned to them among the tribes of Israel.
