Cross References
The Key Word — נָשִׂיא, na.Si'generated
The word נָשִׂיא (na.Si') refers to a leader or high-ranking official, often indicating a prince or chief. It is derived from a root meaning 'to lift up,' suggesting authority and leadership.
In this verse, it highlights Eli-zaphan's role as a significant figure among the leaders of Israel, showing the importance of leadership in guiding the tribes.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
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 finite verb is implied in the structure, with a series of noun phrases detailing the subject: אֱלִיצָפָן (Elizaphan), בֶּן־ (ben-), and פַּרְנָךְ (Parnach). The order emphasizes Eli-zaphan's lineage and tribal affiliation.
The structure is straightforward, listing the leader's name, his paternal connection, and his tribal identity, which reflects the importance of genealogy in Israelite society.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates נָשִׂיא as ἄρξων, which conveys the idea of a ruler or chief. This choice aligns with the Hebrew meaning but emphasizes the authority of the position.
The Greek term ἄρξων suggests a broader interpretation of leadership, possibly indicating a more authoritative role than the Hebrew term alone.

The Masoretic Text of Numbers 34:25 states that Eli-zaphan is the leader from the tribe of Zebulun.

(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

zeb'-u-lun (zebhulun, also written zebuwlun and zebuluwn; the first form occurs only in Jud 1:30; the other two are frequent, and are used interchangeably; Zaboulon): In Ge 30:20 Leah exclaims, "God hath endowed me with a good dowry," which suggests a derivation of Zebulun from zabhadh, "to bestow," the (d) being replaced by (l). Again she says, "Now will my husband dwell with me (or "honor me"): and she called his name Zebulun"; the derivation being from zabhal, "to exalt" or "honor" (OHL, under the word).
Zebulun was the 10th son of Jacob, the 6th borne to him by Leah in Paddan-aram. Nothing is known of this patriarch's life, save in so far as it coincides with that of his brethren. Targum Pseudo-Jonathan says that he first of the five brethren was presented to Pharaoh by…

That holy thing that shall be born of thee. Luke 1:1.
Hence of is the sign of the genitive case, the case that denotes production; as the son of man, the son proceeding from man, produced from man. This is the primary sense, although we now say, produced by man. 'Part of these were slain; ' that is, a number separate, for part denotes a division; the sense then is, a number from or out of the whole were slain. So also, 'some of these were slain; ' that is…
