Exegesis
The object is specified by the construct phrase ʾeṯ-śārê hammēʾôṯ {אֶת־שָׂרֵי הַמֵּא֡וֹת | ʾeṯ-śārê hammēʾôṯ} ‘the commanders of the hundreds’, followed by an extended appositional list marked by repeated coordination and ben- relationships, which grounds each leader’s identity in lineage and public standing.
