Exegesis
This verse is a continuation of a larger allocation list and consists of four coordinated constituents, each introduced by ve'et {וְאֶת־ | wə-ʾeṯ} ‘and (object marker)’. Hebrew uses ʾet to mark definite direct objects, so English represents the sequence primarily through coordination (“and”) rather than a visible object marker.
Root and etymology
ד־ב־רd-b-r
“to speak”
In context — Joshua 21:15
Holon , with its pastureland, and Debir , with its pastureland.
