• Tribute. “Of the twenty-three uses of this term, all but three (Isaiah 31; Lamentations 1:1; Esther 10:1) occur early in the literature. The institution of tribute, or corvée, involves involuntary, unpaid labour, or other service, for superior power-a feudal lord, a king, or a foreign ruler (Exodus 1:11; Lamentations 1:1; Esther 10:1). In Genesis 49:15, Jacob’s blessing on Issachar identifies him as bowing to ‘tribute.’ In Egypt, the Israelites find themselves in that position." From R. Laird Harris’ ‘Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament.
