Exegesis
Finally, wə-ʾet miġrāše-hā səvībōt-e-hā {וְאֶת־מִגְרָשֶׁהָ סְבִיבֹתֶיהָ | wə-ʾet miġrāše-hā səvībōt-e-hā} enumerates the pasturelands around it, using successive et markers to detail the territorial allocation. The Hebrew construct chain and appositional pronoun yield a concise legal narrative that English captures through apposition and prepositional clarity.

And they gave to them the city of Arba, father of the Anak , which is Hebron in the hill country of Judah, and its pasturelands around it.
