Exegesis
Next palti {פַּלְטִי | pǎl-ti} ‘Palti’ identifies the individual, followed by the construct chain ben-raphu {בֶּן־רָפֽוּא | ben-rā-phûʾ} ‘son of Raphu’, which directly connects the son to his father. This nominal sequence, typical in Hebrew genealogical and enumerative lists, employs construct structures to express tribal and paternal relationships.
In context — Numbers 13:9
For the tribe of Benjamin, Palti the son of Raphu.
