Exegesis
The remainder is an asyndetic sequence of marked objects introduced by the object particle ʾet {אֶת | ʾeṯ}, which signals that the city names are items being assigned, even though the governing verb is understood from the larger distribution context.
In context — Joshua 21:23
And from the tribe of Dan, Eltekeh and its pasturelands, Gibbethon and its pasturelands.
