Exegesis
The noun phrase wə-ḥaṣerêhen {וְחַצְרֵיהֶֽן | wə-ḥa-ṣerê-hen} ‘and their villages’ employs the construct combination of chatzer {חָצֵר | ḥā-ṣēr} ‘settlement’ plus the pronominal suffix hen ‘their’. This summary formula is typical of Joshua’s town lists, conveyed in English through listing conjunctions, punctuation, and a summarizing enumeration.
