Exegesis
The deictic-expression zeh-yihyeh {זֶה־יִהְיֶ֥ה | zeh-yih-yə} ‘this shall be’ plus Qal imperfect designates negev {נֶֽגֶב | ne-gev} as the southern limit. English renders the Hebrew VSO order into SVO for readability while preserving directional emphasis.
In context — Joshua 15:4
And it passed by Azmon and came out to the wadi of Egypt, and the outgoings of the boundary were at the sea. This shall be your southern boundary.
