Exegesis
The prefixed vav conjunctions on ḥelqāṯ {חֶלְקַת | ḥelqāṯ}, ḥălî {וַחֲלִי | ḥălî}, wābeten {וָבֶטֶן | wābeten}, and wəʾakšāf {וְאַכְשָׁף | wəʾakšāf} form a cumulative list of locations. In translation, the possessive construct and stative sense of wayyəhî are conveyed by “their border was” or “their territory included.”
In context — Joshua 19:25
And their border was Helkath, and Hali , and Beten, and Akshaph.
