Exegesis

The construct u-vnei-Eden {וּבְנֵי־עֶדֶן | u-və-nê-ʾe-ḏen} ‘and the sons of Eden’ together with the relative clause asher bi-Tel-Assar {אֲשֶׁר בִּתְלַאשָּׂר | ʾă-šer bə-ti-lā-ʾaš-šār} ‘who were in Tel Assar’ precisely locates the group. English formal retains the sharp interrogative structure, while dynamic clarifies lineage and updates word order for readability.
