Exegesis
A repeated preposition ad in ad-achad lo needar asher loavar et-hayarden {עַד-אַחַד לֹא נֶעְדָּר אֲשֶׁר לֹא־עָבַר אֶת־הַיַּרְדֵּן | ʼad-’a-ḥad lō ne-‘ă-dār ʼă-šer lō-‘ā-var ʾet-hā-yar-ḏēn} introduces a negative relative clause to stress that none remained on the near side. The repetition of ad underscores both temporal and quantitative limits, highlighting the completeness of the crossing.
