Exegesis
The prepositional phrase el-ʿein mišpat {אֶל־עֵין מִשְׁפָּט | ʾel-ʿên mišpāṭ} ‘to the spring of judgment’ identifies the destination, immediately followed by an appositional clause hi qadesh {הִוא קָדֵשׁ | hîʾ qāḏēš} ‘it is Kadesh,’ where the independent pronoun hîʾ functions as a copular marker of identification between the local names.
