Exegesis
The pronoun hūʾ {הוּא | hūʾ} ‘he’ is emphasized in apposition with wəḵāl-śārēy mōʾāḇ {וְכָל־שָׂרֵי מוֹאָב | wəḵāl-śārēy mōʾāḇ} ‘and all the officials of Moab,’ framing a group presence beside the altar. The Hebrew VSO order is rendered in SVO English to preserve clarity while maintaining the verse’s emphatic visual disclosure and communal authority.
Root and etymology
“to rule, have authority”
In context — Numbers 23:6
And he returned to him, and behold, he was standing beside his burnt offering, he and all the officials of Moab.
