Exegesis
wə-min-matteh {וּמִמַּטֵּ֣ה | wə-min-maṭ-ṯeh} ‘and from tribe’ functions as a continuation marker in the allocation list; ʾet {אֶת־ | ʾet} ‘direct object marker’ specifies each place; construct suffix on migrash(eha) {מִגְרָשֶׁהָ | mi-ḡrā-še-hā} ‘its pasturelands’ binds the pastureland to the city. The parallel structure “X and its pasturelands, Y and its pasturelands” reflects Hebrew coordination, preserved in English through repeated conjunctions and possessive phrases to maintain referential symmetry.
Place names Reuven {רְאוּבֵן | rə-ʾû-vēn}, Betser {בֶּצֶר | bə-ṣer}, and Yahatsah {יַהְצָה | yaḥ-ṣā} are rendered as transliterated proper nouns.
In context — Joshua 21:36
And from the tribe of Reuben , Betser and its pasturelands , and Yahatsah and its pasturelands.
