Exegesis

The personal name Gaddiel {גַּדִּיאֵ֖ל | gaddî-ʾêl} ‘Gaddiel’ functions in apposition, with the construct chain ben-Sodi {בֶּן־סוֹדִֽי׃ | bĕn-sō-dî} ‘son of Sodi’ marking patrilineal descent. Hebrew’s appositional syntax places the tribal affiliation before the individual’s name, which is mirrored in English by “From the tribe of…” and “son of” to preserve the semantic and syntactic relationships.

Root and etymology
