Exegesis
The numerals mēʼāh {מֵאָה | mēʼāh} ‘one hundred’ + ušnêym {וּשְׁנֵים | ušnêym} ‘and two’ + ʻāśār {עָשָׂר | ʻāśār} ‘ten’ demonstrate the Hebrew additive cardinal structure (hundreds + units). This sequence—genealogical marker + leader title + kinship extension + enumeration—reflects the formulaic pattern of Israelite tribal records.
