Exegesis
A parallel clause repeats et-haman akhlu ad-boam and then el-ktseh erets kennan {אֶל־קְצֵה אֶרֶץ כְּנָעַן | ʾel-qə-ṣēh ʾe-reṣ kə-nā-ʿan}, narrowing the endpoint to Canaan’s border. This parallel structure emphasizes sustained divine provision across both a broad region and its specific boundary.
Root and etymology
ʾ-r-ṣaleph–resh–tsade

In context — Exodus 16:35
And the sons of Israel ate the manna for forty years until they came to a settled region ; they ate the manna until they came to the border of the land of Canaan.
