Exegesis
A primary construct chain gei ben-hinnom {גֵּי־בֶן־הִנֹּ֗ם | gē-ben-hinnōm} ‘Valley of Ben-Hinnom’ is qualified by the prepositional phrase ’el ketef hayevusi {אֶל־כֶּתֶף הַיְבוּסִי֙ | ’el-ke-teph hayə-bû-sî} ‘to the slope of the Jebusite,’ precisely locating the path.
In context — Joshua 15:8
And the boundary rose through the Valley of Ben-Hinnom to the slope of the Jebusite , at the southern edge marking Jerusalem, and then ascended to the top of the hill before the Valley of Hinnom, westward, ending at the northern end of the Valley of Rephaim .
