Exegesis
Each city, ʾelteqēʾ {אֶלְתְּקֵא | ʾel-tə-qēʾ} and gib-bə-ṯōn {גִּבְּתֹן | gib-bə-ṯōn}, is paired with wə-ʾeṯ-mig-rā-šehā {וְאֶת־מִגְרָשֶׁהָ | wə-ʾeṯ-mig-rā-šehā} ‘and its pastureland(s)’, creating a repeated “city + pastureland(s)” pattern. English rendering keeps the list-like structure while supplying minimal linkage (“and”) so the coordinated items read naturally without adding a new action beyond the implied allotment.
Root and etymology
