Joshua 15:34 — ExegesisTAB

Joshua 15:34 is a verbless coordination of toponyms, a common style in boundary and allotment lists. The repeated conjunction vav in vezanoach {וְזָנ֙וֹחַ֙ | wə-zā-nō-aḥ} and ve'en {וְעֵ֣ין | wə-ʿêyn} marks continuation (“and … and …”), while tappuach {תַּפּ֖וּחַ | ṭap-pû-aḥ} appears without vav, functioning as the next item in the series. The phrase 'en gannim {עֵ֣ין גַּנִּ֔ים | ʿêyn gannîm} ‘spring of gardens’ is a construct chain: 'en {עֵ֣ין | ʿêyn} ‘spring’ is grammatically dependent on gannim {גַּנִּ֔ים | gannîm} ‘gardens’, producing a descriptive place name rather than a full clause. The final element veha'enam {וְהָעֵינָֽם | wə-hā-ʿê-nām} includes the definite article, which can signal a particular known site; in English, the article is typically not carried over in a bare list of proper names, so the rendering keeps the natural toponym “Enam” while the literal line preserves “the-Enam.”
