Exegesis
The compound expression ad-gebul {עַד־גְּב֖וּל | ʿaḏ-gebûl} ‘up-to-border’ specifies the geographic extent, and the construct bənê {בְּנֵ֥י | bənê} ‘sons of’ + ʿammôn {עַמּֽוֹן | ʿammôn} ‘Ammon’ marks the tribal boundary. In rendering these chains, English prepositional phrases maintain the hierarchical relationships among noun phrases while preserving the emphasis on tribal possessions.
