Exegesis
The two direct-object markers ’et introduce he’arim ha’elleh {אֶת־הֶעָרִים הָאֵלֶּה | ’et he-‘ā-rîm hā-’ellēh} ‘these cities’ and wə’et miḡrešeihen {וְאֶת־מִגְרְשֵׁיהֶן | wə-’et miḡ-rə-šê-hên} ‘and their pasturelands’, together defining the scope of the gift. The order of urban centers followed by pasturelands reflects the priority of cities supported by their surrounding lands. The formal translation preserves Hebrew word order for legal precision, while the dynamic version smooths the phrasing for modern readability.
