Exegesis
The relative clause ’ăšer ’al-pə-nê ha-Yarden {אֲשֶׁ֖ר עַל־פְּנֵ֥י הַיַּרְדֵּֽן | ’ă-šer ’al-pə-nê ha-yar-ḏēn} ‘which is before the Jordan’ uses ’al-pə-nê as an idiom for ‘east of’, and the English translation renders the Hebrew clause order and locative precisely.
In context — 1 Kings 17:5
So he went and did according to the word of the LORD . He went and settled by the brook Kerith, which lies east of the Jordan.
