'Except' in the Bible

However, Israel did not burn any cities that stood on their mounds, except Hazor alone, which Joshua burned.

There was not a city which made peace with the sons of Israel except the Hivites living in Gibeon; they took them all in battle.

For the sons of Joseph were two tribes, Manasseh and Ephraim, and they did not give a portion to the Levites in the land, except cities to live in, with their pasture lands for their livestock and for their property.
