Exegesis
The preposition me-ever {מֵעֵבֶר | mēʿēḇer} ‘from beyond’ combines with le-naharei kush {לְנַהֲרֵי־כֽוּשׁ | lə-naḥărê–Kūš} ‘to the rivers of Cush’ to situate the land geographically. This front-loading of construct and prepositional chains emphasizes the distant, foreign setting of the prophetic message.
In context — Isaiah 18:1
Woe to the land of the buzzing of wings, which is beyond the rivers of Cush .
