Exegesis
The final prepositional phrase baʾăḥuzzātô {בַּאֲחֻזָּתֹו | ba-ʾăḥuzzāṯō} combines the noun ʾăḥuzzāh {אֲחֻזָּה | ʾăḥuzzāh} with a suffixed pronoun to express possession. The linear sequence—objects, verb, recipient, and possession phrase—reflects Hebrew parataxis and emphasizes the order of allotment.
