a remnant
A remainder, what is left over or survives after a significant loss, catastrophe, or judgment; the surviving group or portion, especially after destruction, exile, or disaster—frequently a small, residual group of people, but also used of physical materials or resources that remain after an event. In narrative and prophetic contexts, שְׁאֵרִית most often refers to the surviving portion of the Israelite population after war, disaster, or exile. It can also denote what is left over from a larger quantity in more general terms.
