Exegesis
This is followed by the construct chain qiryat-ḥuṣot {קִרְיַ֥ת חֻצֽוֹת | qir-yāṯ ḥu-ṣōṯ} ‘Kiriath Huzoth’, a proper toponym whose literal elements mean “city of open spaces.” Both reconstructions faithfully mirror the Hebrew order, preserving conjunctions and locative phrases to maintain pace and clarity.
In context — Numbers 22:39
And Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Kiriath Huzoth .
