And he brought the family of Judah,.... That is, the tribe of Judah, as Kimchi and Ben Melech interpr et it, (z); or rather, the several families in that tribe, even the heads of them: and he took the family of the Zarhites: which descended from Zerah the son of Judah; that was taken by lot: and he brought the family of the Zarhites man by man; and cast lots on them: and Zabdi was taken: that part of the family of the Zarhites which sprung from Zabdi, a son of Zerah. (z) So R. Sol. Ohel Moed, fol. 94. 2.
