Exegesis
The equative construction eretz {אֶ֥רֶץ | ʾe-reṣ} ‘land’ + miqneh {מִקְנֶ֖ה | miq-nê} ‘livestock’ + hi {הִ֑וא | hî} ‘it is’ forms an identification clause.
In context — Numbers 32:4
The land which the LORD struck down before the assembly of Israel is a land for livestock, and your servants have livestock.
