Exegesis
The construct chain ben-susi {בֶּן־סוּסִי | ben·sû·sî} ‘son of Susi’ attaches gaddi {גַּדִּי | gad·dî} ‘Gaddi’ to his genealogy. Hebrew syntax places the broader tribal category before the specific individual, emphasizing collective identity prior to personal lineage. English preserves this sequence through “From the tribe of… son of…,” where “From” mirrors the prepositional lə- and “son of” conveys the construct relationship.
Root and etymology
“son, builder”
In context — Numbers 13:11
From the tribe of Joseph, from the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi son of Susi.
