Exegesis

The noun nashim {נָשִׁ֔ים | nā-šîm} ‘women’ is then qualified by three gentilic adjectives—ashdodiyot {אַשְׁדֳּדִיּוֹת | ʾaš-dŏ-ddî-yōt}, ammoniyot {עַמֳּנִיּוֹת | ʿam-mô-nî-yōt}, and moaviyot {מוֹאָבִיּוֹת | mō-ʾā-bî-yōt}—specifying the women’s foreign origins. In English, these are rendered as ‘married women from Ashdod, Ammon, and Moab’ to preserve the sequence of gentilic groups while conforming to natural English word order.
