Exegesis
The verse employs a series of parallel prepositional phrases introduced by the conjunction vav {וּ | ū} ‘and’ combined with the prepositions min {מִן־ | min} ‘from’ and ʿad {עַד־ | ʿad} ‘to/until’, establishing two geographic spans. The first span runs from ume-kheshbon to ramat ha-mitzpeh, and the second from umimachanayim to gevul.
