| 39. Linguistic 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 coordinator vav {וְ | wə} links successive city–land pairs. The construct noun migrasheha {מִגְרָשֶׁהָ | mig-rā-šehā} ‘its pasturelands’ combines a noun in construct state with a third-person suffix to indicate possession. Finally, kol arim arba {כָּל־עָרִים אַרְבַּֽע | kol-ʿā-rîm ār-bāʿ} ‘all towns four’ places the numeral after its noun for totality, rendered in English by “in all” or “a total of” to preserve the Hebrew emphasis. English omits the et markers and supplies connective phrasing to maintain clarity. |
