Exegesis
Kinah {קִינָ֥ה | qīnāh} ‘Kinah’, Dimonah {דִּימוֹנָ֖ה | dīmonāh} ‘Dimonah’, and Adadah {עַדְעָדָֽה | ʿaḏʿādāh} ‘Adadah’ are feminine singular proper nouns in absolute form. The repeated waw signals a continuous enumeration typical of Joshua’s boundary descriptions. In English, a single “and” before the final item preserves the sequence while enhancing readability.
