Exegesis
The enumeration uses the explicit object marker et {אֶת־ | ʾet} ‘direct object marker’ before each city and its construct phrase, creating a formal catalogue.
The construct noun migrasheha {מִגְרָשֶׁהָ | mig-rā-šehā} ‘its pasturelands’ combines a noun in construct state with a third-person suffix to indicate possession.
