Exegesis
The temporal clause ad tom {עַד־תֹּ֥ם | ˁad tōm} ‘until completion’ introduces the terminus, followed by laavor {לַעֲב֥וֹר | lă-ˁă-vôr} ‘to pass over,’ indicating the people’s departure. Converting Hebrew parataxis into two English sentences preserves narrative flow and theological emphasis.
In context — 2 Samuel 15:24
And behold, Zadok also, and all the Levites who were with him, were carrying the ark of the covenant of God . They set down the ark of God, and Abiathar went up until all the people had finished crossing from the city .
