Exegesis
Each et {אֶת | ʾet} marks a direct object, introducing ir miklat ha-rotzeakh {עִיר מִקְלַט הָרֹצֵ֔חַ | ʿîr mik-lāṭ hā-ro-ṣē-āḥ} ‘city of refuge for the manslayer.’
The construct Ramot ba-Gil‘ad {רָמֹ֥ת בַּגִּלְעָ֖ד | Rā-mōṯ ba-gil-ʿāḏ} ‘Ramoth in Gilead’ and ve-et migrashēha {וְאֶת־מִגְרָשֶׁ֑הָ | wə-ʾet mig-rā-še-hā} ‘and its pastures’ repeats for Mahanaim ve-et migrashēha, creating parallelism that pairs each city with its pasturelands. The translation preserves this paired structure and clarifies the legal function and territorial allocation.
In context — Joshua 21:38
From the tribe of Gad, the city of refuge for the manslayer, Ramoth in Gilead, with its pastures, and Mahanaim, with its pastures.
