In Numbers 26:20, the masculine singular gentilic occurs in the enumeration of Judah’s sons and their clans. The APB renders the clause “Shelah, the clan of the Shelanites,” placing the term in a clan designation.
In the Anselm Project Bible: In Numbers 26:20, the APB presents the term within “the clan of the Shelanites.” This identifies the clause’s overall presentation rather than isolating a precise English equivalent.
