Exegesis
The construct chain u-ven me-šeq bê-tî {וּבֶן־מֶשֶׁק בֵּיתִי | û-ven me-šeq bê-tî} expresses ‘heir of my household,’ and the copula hu {ה֖וּא | hû} links this to dam-me-śeq Eliezer {דַּמֶּשֶׂק אֱלִיעֶזֶר | dam-me-śeq ʾĕ-lî-ʿe-zer}, identifying Eliezer. The formal reconstruction closely follows this sequence, while the dynamic rendering clarifies beiti as ‘household’ to emphasize the extended family context.
