Exegesis
The preposition al {עַל | ʿal} with the locative phrase nakhal ha-aravim {נַחַל הָעֲרָבִים | na-ḥal hā-ʿa-rā-vim} designates destination, and the imperfect yissaum {יִשָּׂאוּם | yiś-śā-ʾûm} conveys the future action of carrying them away.
In context — Isaiah 15:7
Therefore the surplus they have gained, and what they have stored up, they will carry to the brook of the willows.
