Exegesis
The prepositional ad governs the infinitive construct levo chamat {עַד לְב֥וֹא חֲמָֽת} to indicate the terminal boundary as “the entrance of Hamath.” This arrangement preserves Hebrew syntax while rendering it into coherent English boundary description.
In context — Joshua 13:5
And the land of the Giblite and all Lebanon toward the sunrise, from Baal Gad below Mount Hermon to the entrance of Hamath.
