Exegesis
Next, the personal name elidad {אֱלִידָ֖ד | ʾĕlîḏāḏ} heads a new segment, followed by ben-kislon {בֶּן־כִּסְלֽוֹן | ben-kı̄slôn}, a nominal construct chain denoting lineage. The maqqef between בֶּן־כִּסְלֽוֹן binds the relationship, and the Hebrew sequence—tribe designation, tribal name, personal name, relational chain—is rendered in English as an appositive phrase to maintain both clarity and the original emphasis.
Root and etymology
