Exegesis
The forms va'adamah {וַאֲדָמָ֥ה | vaʾă·ḏā·mā(h)} ‘and Adamah’, veharamah {וְהָרָמָ֖ה | vĕhārāmā(h)} ‘and Ramah’, and vehatzor {וְחָצֽוֹר | vĕḥāṣōr} ‘and Hazor’ illustrate the Hebrew technique of vav-prefixed enumeration of place names without an explicit verb. In English this is rendered as an asyndetic list with a single conjunction before the final item to preserve natural flow while maintaining the original order.
