The Key Word — יָשְׁב֖וּ, ya.she.Vugenerated
The verb יָשַׁב (yashab) means to dwell, reside, or settle. It describes the action of the Israelites as they established themselves in the land of Canaan, indicating a sense of permanence in their living arrangements.
In this context, the perfect tense indicates that the Israelites have been living among these tribes for some time. This dwelling is not just physical; it implies a social and cultural interaction that would later lead to significant consequences for their faith and practices.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
All translations agree on the meaning of יָשְׁב֖וּ as 'they dwelt.' The BSB, KJV, ASV, YLT, WEB, and BBE all convey the same idea of the Israelites continuing to live among the Canaanite tribes.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verb יָשְׁב֖וּ (they dwelt) governs the entire clause, with a noun phrase as the subject and several noun phrases listing the tribes among which they lived. The structure emphasizes the action of dwelling and the list of tribes, highlighting the Israelites' environment.
The Hebrew word order places the subject first, followed by the verb and the prepositional phrase, which creates a clear picture of the Israelites' situation in the land.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates יָשְׁב֖וּ as κατῴκησαν (katōkēsan), meaning 'they inhabited.' This choice emphasizes the aspect of settling in and establishing a presence in the land.
The translation reflects a similar meaning but may carry a slightly different nuance regarding the permanence of their dwelling compared to the Hebrew.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

Israel
The name conferred on Jacob after the great prayer-struggle at Peniel (Gen. 32:28), because “as a prince he had power with God and prevailed.” (See JACOB.) This is the common name given to Jacob’s descendants. The whole people of the twelve tribes are called “Israelites,” the “children of Israel” (Josh. 3:17; 7:25; Judg. 8:27; Jer. 3:21), and the “house of Israel” (Ex. 16:31; 40:38).

It became the national name of the twelve tribes collectively. They are so called in (Exodus 3:16) and afterward. It is used in a narrower sense, excluding Judah, in (1 Samuel 11:8; 2 Samuel 20:1; 1 Kings 12:16) Thenceforth it was assumed and accepted as the name of the northern kingdom.
