The form is tagged Noun · Proper in all three verses. In 1 Chronicles 7:14, the APB renders Asriel among the sons of Manasseh; in Joshua 17:2, it lists the sons of Asriel among Manasseh's family groups; and in Numbers 26:31, it pairs Asriel with "the clan of the Asrielites."
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name directly as "Asriel" in all three verses, while the surrounding clauses identify him as Manasseh's son or refer to the clan of the Asrielites. The clan wording reflects the verse's broader presentation rather than a separate rendering of the lemma.
