Exegesis
The verse opens with a triad of proper names: ve'ummah {וְעֻמָ֥ה | vă-ʿû-māh} ‘and Ummah’, va'afek {וַאֲפֵ֖ק | va-ʾă-pêq} ‘and Aphek’, and urekhov {וּרְחֹ֑ב | ū-rĕ-ḥōḇ} ‘and Rehob’. Each is introduced by the coordinating vav, yielding a paratactic series.
In context — Joshua 19:30
Ummah, Aphek, and Rehob—twenty-two cities and their villages.
