Exegesis
Finally, the construct phrase vechatzreihem {וְחַצְרֵיהֶן | wə-ḥa-ṣᵊ-rē-hem} ’and their villages’ combines vav with a feminine plural construct and pronominal suffix, indicating associated settlements. The English structure mirrors the Hebrew enumeration and conjunction pattern to preserve list emphasis.
