Exegesis
The construct gelilot ha-Yarden {גְּלִיל֣וֹת הַיַּרְדֵּ֔ן | gᵊlîlōṯ hayyārēn} “districts of the Jordan” is immediately refined by the relative clause ’aser bə’eretz kəna‘an {אֲשֶׁ֖ר בְּאֶ֣רֶץ כְּנָ֑עַן | ’ăšer bə’ereṣ kəna‘an}, specifying the land of Canaan. The coordinated subjects bənê Re’ûbēn, ū-bənê ḡād, waḥăṣṣî šēweṯ ham-menashsheh together undertake the construction of the miṣbēaḥ.
