Exegesis
Distributive expressions mimmisp̄aḥtām {מִמִּשְׁפַּחְתָּם | mimmisp̄aḥtām} “from their clan” and mikketsōtām {מִקְצוֹתָם | mikketsōtām} “from their quarters” emphasize that representatives were drawn from all sections.
In context — Judges 18:2
So the sons of Dan sent five men from their clan, from their outer districts—men of valor from Zorah and from Eshtaol—to spy out the land and investigate it. They told them, “Go, examine the land.” They came to the hill-country of Ephraim, reached the house of Micah, and stayed the night there.
