Exegesis
The final segment wə-ʾeṯ-qə-mû-ʾēl ʾă-ḇî ʾă-rām {וְאֶת־קְמוּאֵ֖ל אֲבִ֥י אֲרָֽם | wə-ʾet-qə-mû-ʾēl ʾă-ḇî ʾă-rām} forms ‘Kemuel, father of Aram,’ shifting focus to the next generation while keeping the verbal idea implicit. In English, the formal version preserves a compact list, whereas the dynamic version introduces copular verbs and semicolons for narrative clarity.
In context — Genesis 22:21
Uz the firstborn , then Buz his brother, and Kemuel the father of Aram.
