One from a city and two from a family

One from a city and two from a family

Figuratively: the surviving remnant; a very small number.

("Return, O backsliding children, says the Lord; for I am married unto you, and I will take you one from a city and two from a family, and I will bring you to Zion" – Jeremiah 3:14; and "Who knows if they will leave of us youth, one in a city and two in a family. And if they do... will they be able to live as if nothing happened?" – H. Brenner, Send Me a Long Letter).
