Exegesis
The locative phrase mē-ʿe-ver lā-yār-dēn {מֵעֵבֶר לַיַּרְדֵּן | mē-ʿe-ver lā-yār-dēn} ‘beyond the Jordan’ situates the recipients geographically.
In context — Joshua 14:3
For Moses had given the inheritance to two tribes and to the half-tribe beyond the Jordan, but to the Levites he did not give an inheritance among them.
