Exegesis

Proper names Elitzaphan {אֱלִ֣יצָפָ֔ן | ʾĕ-li-ṣā-p̄ān}, Shimri {שִׁמְרִ֖י | šim-rî}, Jeuel {וִיעוּאֵ֑ל | wî-ʾû-’ēl}, Asaph {אָסָ֔ף | ʾā-sāp̄}, Zechariah {זְכַרְיָ֖הוּ | zĕ-ḵār-yā-ḥû}, and Mattaniah {וּמַתַּנְיָֽהוּ | wə-maṭṭān-yā-ḥû} appear appositionally to each family head. The English semicolon mirrors the Hebrew transition between family groups, preserving parallel structure without supplying an explicit verb.
