Exegesis

The paratactic clause veshem immo {וְשֵׁם אִמּ֔וֹ | wə-šēm ʾim-mō} ‘and the name of his mother’ leads into the construct chain Meshullemeth bat-Charutz {מְשֻׁלֶּ֥מֶת בַּת־חָר֖וּץ | me-šul-le-mēṯ baṯ-ḥā-rūṣ} ‘Meshullemeth daughter of Charutz’, and the final locative min Yatvah {מִן־יָטְבָֽה | min yāṯ-vāh} ‘from Jotvah’ marks origin. The verse’s numerical constructs, temporal prepositional clauses, and construct phrases deliver concise biographical data.
