Exegesis
The phrase lahem haguvol {לָהֶם הַגְּב֗וּל | lāhem ha-gəvûl} ‘for them the boundary’ marks possessive assignment of territory.
In context — Joshua 13:16
Now the boundary for them extended from Aroer, which is on the edge of the Arnon Valley, through the city in the midst of the valley, and all the plain as far as Medeba.
