Exegesis

The closing clause vehayu {וְהָי֥וּ | wə-hāyû} introduces a resultant summary: the expressions tetsato {תצאתו | təṣāʾtô} and totse'otav {תֹצְאֹתָ֖יו | tōṣəʾōṯāw} function appositionally as termination language for allotment borders (“its outgoing point(s)”), and the final yammah {יָֽמָּה | yām·māh} specifies that these endpoints face the sea.

In contextJoshua 16:3

And it went down westward to the boundary of the Japhletite , as far as the boundary of Lower Beth-horon, and as far as Gezer; and its goings out were seaward.
