Exegesis
The subject pinnot {פִּנּ֣וֹת | pinnôt} is apposed by the coordinated phrases kol-ha-am {כָּל־הָעָם | kol-hā-ʿām} and kol shivtei yisrael {כֹּ֚ל שִׁבְטֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל | kol šibᵊṭê yiśrāʾēl}, emphasizing comprehensive tribal representation.
In context — Judges 20:2
And the chiefs of all the people, from every tribe of Israel, took their stand in the assembly of the people of God —four hundred thousand infantrymen drawing the sword.
