Exegesis
The passive verb nittnah {נִתְּנָה | nittənāh} “was given” places emphasis on the bestowal of possession rather than on the giver, while haaretz {הָאָ֑רֶץ | hāʾāreṣ} “the land” functions as the grammatical subject following the verb, a common Hebrew arrangement that keeps the act of granting prominent.
