# in the city gate
|
|
|

# the remnant of Joseph
|
|
|
|
Here "remnant" refers to people who are still living in Israel after the others are killed or taken away as captives. Here "Joseph" represents the northern kingdom of Israel, whose two largest tribes were the descendants of Joseph. See how you translated "house of Joseph" in [Amos 5:6](../05/06.md). Alternate translation: "the descendants of Joseph who are still alive" or "those of Israel who survive" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
