Exegesis
The verse employs the direct object marker et {אֶת־ | ’et} ‘direct object marker’ before each place name, marking them as objects.
Each locality forms a construct chain with its pasturelands: Yarmut with migrasheha {מִגְרָשֶׁ֔הָ | mi-grā-šê-hā} ‘pasturelands of it’, and the proper noun En Gannim from ‘ên gannim {עֵ֥ין גַּנִּ֖ים | ’ên gan-nîm} (‘spring of gardens’) also taking migrasheha.
Root and etymology
“spring, fountain”
In context — Joshua 21:29
Jarmuth and its pastureland , En Gannim and its pastureland—four towns in all.
