Exegesis
This verse is a coordinated list of three personal names, each introduced by a prefixed conjunction: veyivkhar {וְיִבְחָ֥ר | wə-yivḥār} ‘and Ibhar’, veelishua {וֶאֱלִישׁ֖וּעַ | wə-ʾĕlîšûaʿ} ‘and Elishua’, and veelpalet {וְאֶלְפָּֽלֶט | wə-ʾelpāleṭ} ‘and Elpelet’. The repeated waw-conjunction creates polysyndeton, giving the line a steady, item-by-item cadence typical of genealogical and family registers. Syntactically, the line functions as a continuation of the preceding context, where the governing clause about sons being born supplies the implied predicate for this list; Hebrew readily omits that repeated verb when the discourse remains stable. In English, the formal rendering keeps the repeated “and” to reflect the Hebrew rhythm, while the dynamic rendering retains the connective force of the initial “and” to show the ongoing list but streamlines the internal coordination for clarity.
