Exegesis
Each clause follows a fixed pattern: subject (a personal name) + holid {הוֹלִיד | hôlîḏ} ‘he caused to be born/fathered’ + et {אֶת | ʾeṯ} marking the definite direct object (the named descendant). The repetition of this sequence creates rhythmic continuity typical of Chronicles’ lineage lists, keeping attention on unbroken succession rather than narrative detail.
In English, et {אֶת | ʾeṯ} is not represented because definiteness is already signaled by the proper names, while the coordinated “and … and …” structure is retained (formal) or slightly streamlined (dynamic) without altering the two-step descent.
