This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main clause of the verse is structured around the identification of Elidad: אֱלִידָ֖ד Elidad is the subject, followed by a prepositional phrase that specifies his lineage and tribe. The sentence flows smoothly, establishing Elidad's role and background in a straightforward manner.
The Hebrew syntax emphasizes the familial connections, with the noun phrases clearly delineating relationships: בֶּן־ ben- (son of) indicates lineage, while לְמַטֵּ֣ה le.ma.Teh (of the tribe) situates him within the broader community of Israel.

Fearing, probably, that this might bode evil for the child--for names have always preserved a peculiar significance in the East--Jacob called him Benjamin, "son of the fight hand" (Ge 35:17 ff).
