Exegesis
Finally, wə-ḥat-serê-hen {וְחַצְרֵיהֶן | wə-ḥat-serê-hen} ‘and their villages’ employs plural construct and pronominal suffix to denote dependent settlements. The Hebrew sequence of vav + noun clauses is rendered in English through coordinated conjunctions, preserving the distributive emphasis on each boundary marker.
