Exegesis
Each allocation is introduced by the direct object marker et {אֶת־ | ’et} ‘direct object marker’, creating a paratactic list.
The construct migrasheha {מִגְרָשֶׁהָ | mi-grā-šê-hā} ‘pastureland of hers’ with a third person feminine singular suffix applies to both Jokneam and Kartah, preserving Hebrew possessive chaining and enumeration.
