Exegesis
The verse opens with the conjunction vav {וְ | wə} ‘and’ prefixed to chatzor {חָצ֤וֹר | ḥā-ṣôr} ‘Hazor,’ linking it to Hadattah.
The identification clause hi chatzor {הִ֥יא חָצֽוֹר | hî ḥā-ṣôr} ‘that is Hazor’ employs the feminine pronoun hi to rename the locale. This English rendering preserves the Hebrew word order, compound place names, and equative renaming structure, reflecting the original parallelism and syntactic pattern.
