Exegesis
The verse employs the direct-object marker ’et {אֶת־ | ʾeṯ} ‘object marker’ before each allotment item to specify Levitical placements.
Each proper name appears in construct (e.g., beit shemesh {בֵּית שֶׁמֶשׁ | bêt šemeš} ‘house of the sun’) followed by the possessive pasturelands form migrasheha {מִגְרָשֶׁהָ | mīg-rā-šē-hā} ‘its pasturelands’, highlighting property rights.
Root and etymology
“enclosed land, pasture”
In context — Joshua 21:16
Ain and its pasturelands , Juttah and its pasturelands, and Beth Shemesh and its pasturelands—nine towns from these two tribes .
