Exegesis
Each phrase is followed by the construct chain mîš-pə-ḥát {מִשְׁפַּ֖חַת | mîš-pə-ḥát} ‘clan of’ combined with ha-zar-ḥî {הַזַּרְחִ֑י | ha-zar-ḥî} ‘the Zerahite’ and ha-šāʾû-lî {הַשָּׁאוּלִֽי | ha-šāʾû-lî} ‘the Shaulite’. This parallelism underscores equal tribal standing and emphasizes descent from named ancestors. In translation, the formal preserves the Hebrew ancestor + clan + gentilic order, while the dynamic renders the prepositional nuance naturally as “descendants of X.”
