| 32. Linguistic Exegesis The verse begins with the demonstrative eleh {אֵ֕לֶּה | ʾêl-leh} ‘these’, introducing a summary of the preceding land distributions. The relative pronoun asher {אֲשֶׁר־ | ʾa-šer} ‘which’ links the summary to the verb nichal {נִחַ֥ל | ni-ḥal} ‘was inherited’, a Niphal perfect indicating completed passive action. The prepositional phrase be-arvot Moav {בְּעַֽרְב֣וֹת מוֹאָ֑ב | bə-ʿar-bōṯ mō-ʾāv} specifies the location as the plains of Moab. The compound preposition me-ever le-yarden {מֵעֵ֛בֶר לְיַרְדֵּ֥ן | mê-ʿê-vēr lə-yar-déṉ} ‘from across the Jordan’ uses a construct chain to link the preposition with the proper noun. 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. |
