Exegesis
The final directional term mizrachah {מִזְרָֽחָה | miz-rā-ḥā} ‘eastward’ completes the spatial orientation, and Yericho {יְרִיח֖וֹ | ye-rî-ḥō} anchors the reference point near the city. English word order maintains the original focus on inheritance and geographic boundaries.
Root and etymology
