Exegesis
The resumptive pronoun hūʾ {ה֖וּא | hūʾ} reinforces Moses’s identity before the coordinated participants wə-ziknê Yisrāʾēl {וְזִקְנֵ֥י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל | wə-ziknê yisrāʾēl} join him. English translates this as a joint return, highlighting Moses’s leadership role together with the tribal elders.
In context — Numbers 11:30
And Moses returned to the camp , he and the elders of Israel.
