Exegesis
Each entry pairs a personal name (ḥanokh {חֲנוֹךְ | ḥă-nō-ḵ}, lə-pallu {לְפַלּוּא | lə-pal-lûʼ}) with mišpaḥat–gentilic adjective (ha-ḥanoḵî {הַחֲנֹכִי | ha-ḥa-nō-ḵî}, ha-palluʼî {הַפַּלֻּאִֽי | ha-pal-lû-ʼî}), forming the pattern: individual + clan designation. The lamed prefix in lə-pallu introduces parallel enumeration without a conjunction, indicating extension of the initial clause. This structure emphasizes tribal identity and descent and is rendered in English with appositional dashes and parallel phrasing to preserve the formal census format.
In context — Numbers 26:5
Reuben was the firstborn of Israel; the sons of Reuben were Hanok—the clan of the Hanokite—and Pallu—the clan of the Palluite.
