The Key Word — הוֹלִ֣יד, ho.Lidgenerated
The Hebrew word הוֹלִ֣יד (ho.Lid) is a verb in the Hiphil stem, meaning 'to father' or 'to beget'. This indicates the act of producing offspring and is essential in genealogical contexts, as it establishes familial relationships.
The parsing as a perfect third person masculine singular suggests a completed action, indicating that Eleazar has definitively fathered Phinehas. This word is used frequently in the Old Testament to describe lineage and inheritance.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

Sentence Structuregenerated
The finite verb הוֹלִ֣יד, he fathered, governs the main clause, linking Eleazar directly to Phinehas and establishing the familial connection. The structure is straightforward, typical of genealogical lists, where the focus is on lineage.
The use of the object marker אֶת־ indicates the direct object of the verb, clarifying that Phinehas is the one fathered by Eleazar.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates הוֹלִ֣יד as υἱοὶ, which means 'sons'. This choice emphasizes the relationship of father to son, consistent with the Hebrew meaning but broadening it to imply a lineage of descendants.
