Exegesis
A series of place names—yizre’elah {יִזְרְעֶ֥אלָה | yiz-rə-ʾē-lā} ‘Jezreel’, veha•kesulot {וְהַכְּסוּלֹ֖ת | wə-ha-kə-sū-lōṯ} ‘and the Kesulloth’, veshunem {וְשׁוּנֵֽם | wə-šū-nēm} ‘and Shunem’—are listed with vav conjunctions without additional verbs, a syntactic device typical of territorial enumerations in Joshua. The nominal clause structure and pronominal suffix emphasize tribal inheritance. The formal translation retains the technical nuance of boundary, while the dynamic uses territory included to convey the inclusive allotment sense.
In context — Joshua 19:18
And their boundary was Jezreel, Kesulloth , and Shunem.
