Exegesis
The prepositional phrase le-mishpechotam {לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָם | lᵊ-miš·pə·ḥō·ṯā·m} ‘according to their clans’ specifies internal subdivisions, while the coordinated noun phrases he-arim ha-eleh {הֶעָרִים הָאֵלֶּה | he·ʿǎ·rîm hā·ʾê·lleh} ‘these cities’ and ve-chatzreihen {וְחַצְרֵיהֶן | wə·ḥǎ·ṣre·he·n} ‘and their villages’ form a balanced listing. The translation adopts English SVO order yet preserves the Hebrew sequence from a general designation to a detailed geographic inventory.
