Exegesis

The construct meʿemeq ʿakhor {מֵעֵ֣מֶק עָכוֹר | me-ʿê-meq ʿā-khor} establishes the starting point, followed by the directional adverb ve-tsafonah {וְצָפ֜וֹנָה | və-tsa-pō-nāh} and the participle poneh {פֹּנֶ֣ה | pō-nē} to indicate a turn.

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.
