The finite verb יָלַד governs the entire verse — and he fathered — with a prepositional phrase indicating the source of offspring, followed by a series of noun phrases listing the names of his sons. This structure emphasizes the act of fathering and the subsequent naming of descendants.
The Hebrew word order places the verb first, highlighting the action of fathering as the central focus before introducing the offspring.

He begat of Hodesh his wife] In the preceding verse it is said that Hushim and Baara were his wives; and here it is said he begat of Hodesh his wife, c. And then his children by Hushim are mentioned, but not a word of Baara! It is likely therefore that Hodesh was another name for Baara, and this is asserted by the Targum: And he begot of Baara, that is Chodesh, his wife so called because he espoused her anew. It is supposed that he had put her away before, and now remarried her.
