Exegesis
The verse presents a series of coordinated objects each introduced by the accusative marker and conjunction ve’et {וְאֶת | wə-ʾet} ‘and (definite direct object marker)’, marking the distribution of land.
Each proper name—kivtsayim {קִבְצַיִם | kîv-ṣa-yim} and beit choron {בֵּית חוֹרֹן | bă-yt ḥō-rōn}—is linked to its pastureland migrasheha {מִגְרָשֶׁהָ | mi-grā-šeh-āh} via the feminine singular possessive suffix.
Root and etymology
q-b-ṣqof–bet–ṣade
“to gather”
In context — Joshua 21:22
Kibzaim with its pastureland , and Beth Horon with its pastureland; four towns in all.
