Exegesis
The pattern repeats with le'eri {לְעֵרִי | lə-ʿê-rî} and hā-ʿē-rî {הָעֵרִי | hā-ʿē-rî}. Hebrew omits a conjunction (parataxis) and a verbal predicate, typical of census listings, yielding a telegraphic enumeration. English renders the construct as noun + of + proper noun for clarity while mirroring the original’s parallel structure.
