Exegesis
The vav-consecutive in vayinchalu {וַיִּנְחֲל֥וּ | wă-yin-ḥă-lû́} ‘and they inherited’ marks narrative sequence, and the final prepositional phrase betokh nachalatam {בְּת֥וֹךְ נַחֲלָתָֽם | bə-tṓḵ na-ḥă-lā́-ṯām} ‘within their inheritance’ clarifies placement. The layered construct chains and causal structure underscore legal and spatial relations in tribal allotment.

In context — Joshua 19:9
From the portion of the sons of Judah came the inheritance of the sons of Simeon, for the portion of the sons of Judah was more abundant than they needed; therefore the sons of Simeon inherited amidst their inheritance.
