Exegesis
The enumeration then proceeds in apposition with Dibon, uvamot {וּבָמ֣וֹת | ū-ḇā-mōṯ} ‘and Bamoth’, uveit {וּבֵ֖ית | ū-ḇêṯ} ‘and Beth’, baal {בַּ֥עַל | ba-ʿāl}, and meon {מְעֽוֹן | mə-ʿōn}. In English, compound renderings (“its-towns,” “in-the-plain”) preserve the construct and prepositional bonds, while the series of place names remains intact to reflect the original Hebrew enumeration.
In context — Joshua 13:17
Heshbon and all its towns that are in the plain ; Dibon, Bamoth Baal, and Beth Baal Meon.
