Specifically looking at Joshua 24:19 and Exodus 23:21.

Please could someone tell me the point in prefixing the Lamed to the nouns
in these instances? Reading elsewhere I see rthat it is also not really
necessary. What is the difference please?

thankyou. Chris Watts.

Jenni's work on the preposition should have something to say.

Jenni, Ernst. _Die hebräischen Präpositionen. Band 3: Die Präposition Lamed_. Stuttgart: Kohlhammer, 2000.

Sorry, but I don't have time to dig into it myself at the moment.

Regards,
David Kummerow.
