Exegesis
The relative pronoun asher {אֲשֶׁ֖ר | ʾă-šer} ‘who’ links this to mibnei-Dan {מִבְּנֵי־דָֽן | mi-bə-nēy Dān} ‘sons of Dan’, marking tribal identity. The interwoven sequence of numeral + noun + participles + relative clause foregrounds both martial readiness and communal affiliation. In English, the genitive construct becomes prepositional or possessive, and Hebrew participles convert to verb or adjective forms to preserve clarity and emphasis.
Root and etymology
d-ndalet–nun
