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.
Root and etymology
“boundary”
In context — Joshua 13:10
And all the cities of Sihon, king of the Amorite , who ruled in Heshbon , up to the border of the sons of Ammon
