Exegesis

The final vehayu totsotav {וְהָי֥וּ תֹצְאֹתָ֖יו | və-hā-yū tō-ṣə-ʾō-ṯā-v} clause marks the boundary’s terminus with the noun for “its goings out.”

In contextJoshua 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.
