Exegesis
It then presents the construct chain ben-ishah yisreelit {בֶּן־אִשָּׁה יִשְׂרְאֵלִ֔ית} ‘son of an Israelite woman’, marking matrilineal descent.
The prepositional phrase betokh bnei yisrael {בְּת֖וֹךְ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֑ל} ‘in the midst of the sons of Israel’ situates the action within the communal camp.
The setting bammachaneh {בַּֽמַּחֲנֶ֔ה | ba-maḥănēh} ‘in the camp’ frames the scene; and the final parallel construct ben hayisreelit {בֶּ֚ן הַיִּשְׂרְאֵלִ֔ית | ben hayyiśrēʾēlît} ‘the son of the Israelite woman’ versus ve-ish hayisreeli {וְאִ֖ישׁ הַיִּשְׂרָאֵלִֽי | wəʾîš hayyiśrāʾēlî} ‘and a man of Israel’ reinforces the thematic contrast of lineage within community.
