^{page 322 note 4} According to E. Brederek, Konkordanz zum Targum Onkelos (ZAW Bh. g), Giessen, 1906, the word is only used in Gen. xxv. 16 and Num. XXV. 15.Google Scholar

^{page 325 note 1} To this simple, but fundamental observation, not even the best study on , known to me, has paid sufficient attention: Rost, L.: ‘Die Bezeichnungen für Land und Volk im A.T.’, Festschrift Otto Procksch (Leipzig, 1934), pp. 125–48.Google Scholar Rost concludes by the following definition: bezeichnet die Gesamtbevölkerung eines Territoriums, die Mannschaft eines Volkes als die Zusammenfassung der verheirateten, auf eigener Scholle sitzenden Vollbürger mit dem Recht zur Dienstleistung im Heerbann, zur Teilnahme an der Rechtssprcchung und zur Ausübung des Kultes’ (p. 147). The word like the term , certainly often can have this meaning, but this is a specific, technical use, rather than the basic meaning of the word.
