Exegesis
The defining relative clause asher-nokhach lemaʿaleh adummim {אֲשֶׁר־נֹ֙כַח֙ לְמַעֲלֵ֣ה אֲדֻמִּ֔ים | ʾă-šer nō-ḥaḥ lə-ma-ʿă-leh ʾa-du-mîm} is rendered as “which faces the Ascent of Adummim,” preserving Hebrew concision.
In context — Joshua 15:7
And the boundary went up from the Valley of Achor toward Debir, then turned north to Gilgal, which faces the Ascent of Adummim on the south side of the wadi; and the boundary passed to the waters of En Shemesh, and its outgoings were at En Rogel.
