Exegesis
The Hebrew employs a parallel coordinate structure with two phrases joined by a semicolon: laArod {לַאֲרֹד | la-ʾa-rōḏ} ‘to/for Arod’ + mishpachat haArodi {מִשְׁפַּּחַת הָאֲרוֹדִי | miš-pa-ḥaṯ hā-ʾa-rō-ḏī} ‘clan of the Arodi’; followed by leAreli {לְאַרְאֵלִי | lə-ʾar-ê-lī} ‘to/for Areli’ + mishpachat haAreli {מִשְׁפַּּחַת הָאַרְאֵלִי | miš-pa-ḥaṯ hā-ʾar-ê-lī} ‘clan of the Areli’. The prefixed lamed marks tribal affiliation, while the construct chain mishpachat + gentilic adjective is the standard genitive for sub-tribal units. English can mirror this structure formally (“For X, the clan of X”) or dynamically (“From X came the X’s group”) to highlight origin or maintain Hebrew word order.
