Exegesis
The conjunctive phrase ū-mig-rə-šê-hen {וּמִגְרְשֵׁיהֶן | ū-mig-rə-šê-hen} ‘and their pasturelands’ closes the direct object. Hebrew word order foregrounds lineage and function before stating the quantity, and the final mention of pasturelands underscores the integral land provision for the priesthood.
Root and etymology
g-r-šgimel–resh–shin
