Exegesis
The final appositional phrase he'arim ve-chatzreihen {הֶעָרִים וְחַצְרֵיהֶֽן | heʿārīm wə-ḥaṣrêyhen} “the cities and their villages” enumerates the specific land units. Hebrew parataxis lists elements with a single vav before the last item; English renders this as a coordinated structure with a colon, preserving the hierarchical sequence of tribal, familial, and geographical designations.
Root and etymology
ḥ-ṣ-rḥet–ṣade–resh
