Exegesis
The verse exhibits a repeated coordination of the particle veʾet {וְאֶת־ | wə-ʾet} ‘and direct object marker’ to enumerate Levitical cities together with their lands.
Each proper noun—yattir {יַתִּר | yăṭ-ṭîr} and eshtemoa {אֶשְׁתְּמֹעַ | ʾeš-te-mō-aʿ}—appears in construct relationship with migrashêha {מִגְרָשֶׁ֔הָ | mi-gra-šê-hā} ‘its pasturelands’, reflecting possession of city plus adjoining territory. The direct object marker has no independent English equivalent but signals specificity. This parallel syntax underscores the comprehensive allocation to the Levites.
Root and etymology
