Exegesis
Finally, ʾēlīʾāḇ ben ḥêlōn {אֱלִיאָב בֶּן־חֵלֹן | ʾēlīʾāḇ ben ḥêlōn} ‘Eliab son of Helon’ follows the standard Hebrew pattern for personal identification. In English the construct chain is rendered by shifting the prepositional phrase after the title ‘leader,’ preserving the emphasis on tribal and familial relationships.
In context — Numbers 2:7
The tribe of Zebulun and the leader for the sons of Zebulun is Eliab, son of Helon.
