Exegesis
The adverbial hayom {הַיּוֹם | ha-yôm} ‘today’ fixes the timing, and the noun phrase shevet echad miyiśra'el {שֵׁבֶט אֶחָד מִיִּשְׂרָאֵֽל | šê-ḇeṭ ʾe-ḥāḏ mi-yis-rā-ʾêl} ‘one tribe from Israel’ is the subject of that passive. The sequential vav-consecutives and Nifal voices in Hebrew are rendered by corresponding conjunctions and passive constructions in English to preserve narrative flow and emphasize collective emotion.
