Exegesis

Yehoshua {יְהוֹשֻׁ֔עַ | Yəhōšûa} functions as the subject, and three coordinated prepositional phrases enumerate the addressees: la-reuveni {לָרֽאוּבֵנִ֖י | lā-r’ū-ḇē-nî} ‘to the Reubenite’, ve-la-gadi {וְלַגָּדִ֑י | wə-lag-gā-dî} ‘and to the Gadite’, and ve-la-ḥatzi matteh Menasheh {וְלַחֲצִ֖י מַטֵּה מְנַשֶּֽׁה | wə-lă-ḥă-ṣî maṭ-tēh mə-nāš-šêh} ‘and to the half tribe of Manasseh’. The construct chain between ḥatzi and matteh denotes a divided portion, while the vav-lamed conjunctions indicate inclusion and coordination.

In contextJoshua 22:1

Then Joshua sent for the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh.
