| 37. Linguistic Exegesis The verse is a paratactic list introduced by the prefixed conjunction vav {וְ | wə} ‘and’ on each element, yielding ‘and Kedesh’, ‘and Edrei’, and ‘and Ein Hazor’. The construct relationship of eyn {עֵין | ʿên} ‘spring’ with chatzor {חָצֽוֹר | ḥā-ṣôr} ‘Hazor’ designates a water source linked to the city. The formal rendering retains every ‘and’ to mirror Hebrew rhythm, while the dynamic rendering omits the first two ‘and’ for idiomatic English listing. |
