Exegesis

The direct object marker ʾet {אֶת־ | ʾet} precedes the legal term ʿîr miqlátt hārōṣêaḥ {עִ֣יר מִקְלַ֣ט הָֽרֹצֵ֗חַ | ʿîr miq-lát hā-rō-ṣê-ʻaḥ}, “city of refuge for the manslayer.” The definite article on hārōṣêaḥ signals a class of persons rather than an individual.

Repeated coordination with wə-ʾet {וְאֶת־ | wə-ʾet} introduces each additional city and its associated pastureland miġrasêhā {מִגְרָשֶׁ֑הָ | mi-gra-še-hā}.

In contextJoshua 21:32

And from the tribe of Naphtali, the city of refuge for the manslayer , namely Kedesh in Galilee with its pastureland, Hammoth Dor with its pastureland, and Kartan with its pastureland—three cities in all.
