Exegesis
The causal clause introduced by ki {כִּי | kî} ‘because’ grounds his appointment in competence: the participle mevin {מֵבִין | mēvîn} ‘understanding’ states his capability, and the independent pronoun hu {הוּא | hûʾ} ‘he’ adds emphasis, marking him as notably qualified. Since massa can be associated with “lifting/bearing,” the translation “carrying” reflects both its common sense and the immediate context of transporting the ark.
