And the children of Israel departed thence at that time, every man to his tribe and to his family, and they went out from thence every man to his inheritance.

Verse 24 is found in chapter 21 of Judges. The families of the kidnapped young women receive an explanation based on the need to preserve a tribe of Israel. The book concludes by stating that there was no king in Israel and everyone did what seemed right in his own eyes. This statement summarizes the political and spiritual condition described from the beginning: the absence of central authority coincides narratively with disorder, idolatry, tribal violence, and covenant deterioration. The ending does not resolve these problems but leaves the reader prepared for the next stage of Israel’s history.

Auch die Kinder Israel machten sich von dannen zu der Zeit, ein jeglicher zu seinem Stamm und zu seinem Geschlecht, und zogen von da aus, ein jeglicher zu seinem Erbteil.
Entonces los hijos de Israel se fueron también de allí, cada uno a su tribu y a su familia, saliendo de allí cada uno a su heredad.
Et dans le même temps les enfants d'Israël s'en allèrent de là chacun dans sa tribu et dans sa famille, ils retournèrent chacun dans son héritage.
E in quel medesimo tempo i figliuoli d’Israele se ne andarono di là ciascuno alla sua tribù, e alla sua nazione, e si ridussero di là ciascuno alla sua eredità.
Também os filhos de Israel partiram dali, cada um para a sua tribo e para a sua família; e saíram dali, cada um para a sua herança.
那時 以色列 人離開那裏,各自回到自己的支派、宗族;他們從那裏起行,各自回到自己的地業去了。
