Exegesis
The movement is framed by matched spatial phrases: lerosh hasela {לְרֹ֣אשׁ הַסָּ֑לַע | lərōʾš hassālaʿ} ‘to the top of the cliff’ and merosh-hasela {מֵֽרֹאשׁ־הַסֶּ֖לַע | mērōʾš-hasselaʿ} ‘from the top of the cliff’, turning the cliff into both destination and instrument of death.
In context — 2 Chronicles 25:12
And the sons of Judah captured ten thousand alive and brought them to the top of the cliff, and they hurled them from the top of the cliff, and all of them were split open.
