Exegesis
The verse opens with a polysyndetic list introduced by the particle et {אֶת־ | ʾet} and the conjunction ve-et {וְאֶת־ | wə-ʾet}, marking each direct object.
Those markers link the place names Chelqat {חֶלְקָת֙ | ḥelqāṯ} and Rehob {רְחֹ֖ב | reḥōv} to their grazing areas expressed by the construct form migrasheha {מִגְרָשֶׁ֔הָ | migrāšehā}.
Root and etymology
ג־ר־ש
“open land, pasture”
In context — Joshua 21:31
Helqat and its pastureland , and Rehob and its pastureland—four towns in all.
