Exegesis
The verse employs a coordinate structure introduced by the direct-object-marker et {אֶת | ʾet} with each place-name phrase.
Proper nouns anatot {עֲנָתוֹת | ʿănāṯōṯ} and almon {עַלְמֹן | ʿălmôn} appear in construct with migrasheha {מִגְרָשֶׁהָ | mīgrāšehā} ‘pasturelands’, each phrase marked by the conjunction-plus-et sequence.
In context — Joshua 21:18
Anathoth and its pasturelands , and Almon and its pasturelands — four cities in all.
