Exegesis
The construct phrase ve-chatzeihen {וְחַצְרֵיהֶֽן | və-ḥa-ṣerê-hên} ‘and their villages’ uses a plural construct with a pronominal suffix to link dependent settlements. The Hebrew sequence foregrounds place names before summarizing with a total and associated domains. In English, an em dash and commas emulate this cumulative structure while ensuring clarity.
Root and etymology
“enclosure, settlement”
In context — Joshua 19:30
Ummah, Aphek, and Rehob—twenty-two cities and their villages.
