Exegesis
Finally, wə-šēm ʾimmō Šelōmît bat-Dibrī lə-mattēh Dān {וְשֵׁ֥ם אִמּ֛וֹ שְׁלֹמִ֥ית בַּת־דִּבְרִ֖י לְמַטֵּה־דָֽן | wə-šēm ʾimmō Šelōmît bat-Dibrī lə-mattēh Dān} ‘and his mother’s name was Shelomith, daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan’ provides a secondary identification. The progression from blasphemy to cursing to legal referral and genealogical note reflects Hebrew narrative patterning.
