Exegesis
The proper noun Ira {עִירָא֙ | ʿî-rāʾ} and the proper noun Gareb {גָּרֵ֖ב | gā-rêḇ} are each modified by the gentilic adjective ha-yitri {הַיִּתְרִ֔י | hay-yîṯ-rî}, which carries the definite article to denote specific clan affiliation. Hebrew asyndeton omits a conjunction before the second name, so English supplies “and” to reflect coordination.
Root and etymology
י־ת־ר
