Exegesis
The noun gəvûl {גְּבוּל֙ | gəvûl} ‘border’ heads the first clause, linking to bᵉnê-rəʾūvên {בְּנֵ֣י־רְאוּבֵ֔ן | bᵉnê-rəʾūvên} ‘sons of Reuben’ and ha-yarden {הַיַּרְדֵּ֖ן | ha-yǎr-ḏēn} ‘the Jordan’.
In context — Joshua 13:23
And the boundary of the sons of Reuben was the Jordan ; this was the inheritance of the sons of Reuben according to their families—the cities and their villages.
