Exegesis
The copular formula zōḏ {זֹ֗את | zōḏ} ‘this is’ introduces the identification clause of naḥălat maṭṭeh bənē-ʾeprayim lə-mišpəḥōṯām {נַחֲלַ֛ת מַטֵּ֥ה בְנֵי־אֶפְרַ֖יִם לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָֽם | naḥălat maṭṭeh bənē-ʾeprayim ləmišpəḥōṯām} ‘the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim according to their families’. The verse’s sequential boundary-description and concluding allocation formula reflect the legal-historical genre’s typical listing pattern, maintained in the translation’s parallel English structures.
