Exegesis
The summarizing statement zot pe’at-yam {זֹ֖את פְּאַת־יָֽם | zôt pə-ʾat yām} ‘this is the side of the sea’ concludes the geographic description, a common boundary-listing feature.
In context — Joshua 18:14
And the boundary turned and curved along the western side southward from the mountain facing Beth Horon. Its endpoints were at Kiriath Baal (which is Kiriath Jearim), a city of the sons of Judah. This was the western side.
