It is used to describe the portion or allotment given to individuals or tribes, particularly in the context of the Promised Land given to the Israelites.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, inheritance was a crucial aspect of family and tribal identity. Land was not merely a commodity but a divine gift and a sign of God's covenant with His people. The distribution of land among the tribes of Israel was a fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham and his descendants. Inheritance laws ensured that land remained within the family, preserving the tribal structure and heritage.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>perhaps from <a href="/hebrew/2485.htm">chalil</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>perhaps flute (a musical instrument).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">נְחִילָה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> meaning unknown;
