    In Numbers 26:6, the masculine singular gentilic form occurs in the listing that names Hezron and Carmi; the APB renders the clause “and Hezron, the clan of the Hezronites, and Carmi, the clan of the Carmites.” In Numbers 26:21, the same form appears in the line of Perez alongside Hamul; the APB renders “The sons of Perez were Hezron, the clan of the Hezronites, and Hamul, the clan of the Hamulites.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across both verses, the APB presents the clause as identifying “the clan of the Hezronites.” That wording reflects the clause's presentation rather than isolating the term's exact English equivalent.
