Exegesis
Each proper noun—Eltolad {אֶלְתּוֹלַד | ʼel-tô-láḏ}, Betul {בְתוּל | bə-tûl}, and Hormah {חָרְמָה | khā-rə-mā}—stands in a paratactic sequence, reflecting Hebrew’s favor for repeated conjunctions in city lists. This structure assigns equal weight to each town within the tribal allotment roster. The translation must decide whether to mirror the repetition of “and” for fidelity (formal) or streamline for readability (dynamic).
