Exegesis
The prefixed conjunction in uveit {וּבֵית | wə-bêṯ} ‘and house of’ introduces a place name built with a construct relationship (“house of X”), functioning in English as the conventional “Beth-” prefix.
The final uveit {וּבֵית | wə-bêṯ} resumes the earlier pattern, creating a rhythmic, cumulative delineation typical of territorial descriptions; preserving the repeated “and” and the place-name forms keeps the sense of an ongoing inventory rather than a self-contained sentence.
