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.
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.
