Exegesis
The verse opens with the sequential verb veyarad {וְיָרַד | wə-yā-rǎḏ} ‘and it went down’, marking movement of the subject haggevul {הַגְּבוּל | ha-gĕ-vûl} ‘the boundary’.
In context — Joshua 17:9
And the boundary went down to the wadi Kanah; south of the wadi these cities belonged to Ephraim in the midst of the cities of Manasseh, and the boundary of Manasseh was on the north side of the wadi, and its outgoings were toward the sea .
