Depends on exactly what you mean by that.
(1) You can use .include in the config to include a separate file that
contains the rewrite rules.
(2) You can use lookups in a rewriting rule, for example
*@* ${lookup{$local_part@$domain}lsearch{/some/file}{$value}fail}

(3) Changing addresses while routing is usually done by the redirect
router, not by rewriting.

The standard Exim way of doing that would be to make the file contain
this:
booksite.co.za booksite.jev.co.za
dispatch.co.za mail.dispatch.co.za
and use a router like this:
redirect_domains:
driver = redirect
data = ${lookup{$domain}lsearch{/the/file}{$local_part@$value}}
If the lookup fails, the value of "data" is empty, which means that the
router declines. A setting of redirect_router would probably useful to
avoid multiple passes through this router.
