Exegesis

The existential clause ve-ein-makhlim davar {וְאֵין־מַכְלִים דָּבָר | wəʾēn makhlîm dāvar} indicates there was nothing lacking among them, and yoresh etser {יוֹרֵשׁ עֶצֶר | yōrēš ʿeṣer} conveys possession of wealth.

In contextJudges 18:7

The five men departed and came to Laish. They saw the people living securely there, as in Sidon’s custom —quiet and unsuspecting; they lacked nothing that was in the land and possessed wealth. They were distant from the Sidonians and had no dealings with anyone.
