Exegesis
The narrative then coordinates three toponyms with vav: be’er-sheva {בְּאֵֽר־שֶׁ֥בַע | be-ʾêr-še-vāʿ} ‘Beersheba’, sheva {שֶׁבַע | šé-vāʿ} ‘Sheba’, and moladah {מוֹלָדָֽה | mō-lā-dāh} ‘Moladah’. The maqqef linking “be’er” and “sheva” underscores their construct relationship “well of seven.” This structure—preface, locative phrase, and a tricolon of cities—emphasizes the delineation of the inheritance sites. In English, maintaining the prepositional nuance and list sequence preserves the Hebrew’s rhetorical order.
