Exegesis
The direct object marker et {אֶת־ | ’et} marks each named son as object. The parallel VSO clauses (“And Azariah … and Helez …”) generate a rhythmic pattern typical of genealogies. In English, the structure is shifted to SVO for clarity while retaining the focus on lineage.
Root and etymology
’-taleph–tav
