Exegesis
The verse uses polysyndeton with repeated vav {וְ | wə} ‘and’, linking three place names: wə-ʾel-tō-lāḏ {וְאֶלְתּוֹלַ֥ד | wə-ʾel-tō-lāḏ} ‘and Eltolad’, u-ḵə-sîl {וּכְסִ֖יל | u-ḵə-sîl} ‘and Kesil’, and wə-ḥōr-māh {וְחָרְמָֽה | wə-ḥōr-māh} ‘and Hormah’. The formal translation maintains the Hebrew coordinate structure for emphasis, while the dynamic translation consolidates the list for smoother English flow.
