Numbers 34:23

Study note

Setting — The verse appears as a catalog entry within a larger administrative list, positioned between the leader from Dan and the leader from Ephraim. It records a designated representative without narrative commentary or direct address.

The words — נָשִׂ֑יא (na.Si') denotes a leader or prince, while מְנַשּׁ֖ה (me.na.Sheh) identifies the tribe of Manasseh. The phrasing explicitly ties this official to the lineage of Joseph through Manasseh.

The thread — This entry continues the systematic enumeration of tribal heads appointed for the boundary and allocation process. The same structural pattern of listing a named leader alongsideI have to answer now.

Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.
