| 50. Linguistic Exegesis The phrase begins with the vav-consecutive vav {וַ | va} ‘and’ marking the first item, followed by prefixed waw {וְ | wə} ‘and’ before each subsequent name, a common Hebrew list structure without an explicit verb. The repeated conjunction emphasizes equal status of the three place names. Both formal and dynamic translations preserve this parallelism: the formal retains each “and,” while the dynamic supplies an implied verb (“are listed”) for natural English flow. |
