Exegesis
Each gift is marked by the direct object marker et {אֵת | ʾet} or ve-et {וְאֵת | wə-ʾet}, preserving the Hebrew enumeration.
Chevron {חֶבְרוֹן | khevrôn} and Livnah {לִבְנָה | līvnāh} name the specific grants, with migrasheha {מִגְרָשֶׁהָ | mīgrāšehā} “its pasturelands” repeated to emphasize parallel land allocations. The parallel structure underscores the formal distribution of cities and lands to the priestly clan.
