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.
In context — Genesis 14:7
And they returned and came to the spring of judgment, that is Kadesh, and they struck all the territory of the Amalekite, and also the Amorite who was dwelling in Hazezon-Tamar.
