Exegesis
Sequential movement is marked by the vav-consecutive imperfect veyatsa {וְיָצָ֤א | wə-yā-ṣā} 'and it went out', taking ha-gevul {הַגְּבוּל֙ | ha-gĕ-vul} 'the border' with the directional complement yamah {יָ֔מָּה | yā-māh} 'westward'.
In context — Joshua 18:15
And the southern boundary began at the edge of Kiriath Jearim and then ran westward to the spring of the waters of Nephtoah.
