Exegesis
The successive prepositional phrases ad-aphekah {עַד־אֲפֵ֑קָה | ’ad-’ă-pê-qāh} ‘as far as Aphek’ and ad {עַ֖ד | ’ad} ‘as far as’ set the boundary limits, concluding with gevul ha’emori {גְּב֥וּל הָאֱמֹרִֽי | gə-vûl hā-’ĕ-mō-rî} ‘border of the Amorite.’ This linear territorial schema reflects directional structure common in ancient boundary descriptions.
