Exegesis
The verse presents a paratactic list of place names linked by the conjunction vav {וְ | wə}, attaching to each noun in sequence: vaṿyĕ-hûḏ {וִיהֻד | wî-ye-hûḏ} “Jehud,” bənê-ḇə-rāq {בְּנֵי־בְרַק | bə-nê-ḇə-rāq} “Benei-Berak,” and ḡat-rim-môn {גַּת־רִמּוֹן | ġat-ri-môn} “Gath-Rimmon.” The construct chains in bənê-ḇə-rāq and ḡat-rim-môn express genitive relationships, with the head noun preceding its modifier. The repetitive vav-prefixed coordination underscores a comprehensive territorial enumeration typical of Hebrew narrative. In translation, the genitive constructs are preserved through transliteration to retain the original relational nuance and geographic specificity.
