Exegesis

The command begins with the geographic phrase kol yoshvei ha-har {כָּל־יֹשְׁבֵי הָהָר | kol yōšəḇê hāhār} ‘all the inhabitants of the hill country’, followed by the boundary min ha-lebanon ʿad misrephot mayim {מִן־הַלְּבָנֹן עַד־מִשְׂרְפֹת מַיִם | mîn hā-lə-bā-nôn ʿaḏ miśrə-pôṯ māyim} ‘from Lebanon to Misrephoth-Maim’.

In context — Joshua 13:6

All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon to Misrephoth-Maim, all the Sidonians—I Myself will drive them out before the sons of Israel. Only allot it to Israel by lot as an inheritance , as I have commanded you.
