Exegesis
Besof hanakhal {בְּסוֹף הַנַּחַל | bə-ṣōf ha-na-ḥāl} ‘at the end of the valley’ uses a spatial prepositional phrase, while penei midbar Yeruel {פְּנֵי מִדְבַּר יְרוּאֵל | pə-nê mid-bār yĕ-rū-’êl} ‘facing the wilderness of Jeruel’ marks orientation. The shift from the Hebrew VSO to English SVO clarifies the tactical instructions without altering the discourse frame.
In context — 2 Chronicles 20:16
Tomorrow go down against them. Behold, they are going up by the ascent of Ziz, and you will find them at the end of the valley , facing the wilderness of Jeruel .
