Exegesis
The closing clause uses va-yitten {וַיִּתֵּן | way-yittēn} ‘and he set’ to complete the relocation, and the placement phrase al-yerekh {עַל־יֶרֶךְ | ʿal-yēreḵ} with tsafonah {צָפוֹנָה | tsāfōnā} ‘northward’ fixes the new orientation, preserving the text’s careful spatial precision in English.
In context — 2 Kings 16:14
He moved the bronze altar that was before the LORD away from the front of the house, from between the altar and the house of the LORD, and set it on the north side of the altar.
