Exegesis
A second prepositional phrase li-vnê Yiśśākhar {לִבְנֵי יִשָׂשכָ֖ר | li-və-nê yiśśākhar} ‘to the sons of Issachar’ identifies the tribal group, and le-miš-pə-ḥō-tām {לְמִשְׁפְּחוֹתָֽם | lə-miš-pə-ḥō-tām} ‘to their clans’ specifies the subdivision. Hebrew’s fronting of indirect objects contrasts with English subject–verb–object order, which was chosen to improve clarity without losing emphasis.
Root and etymology
