Exegesis
The relative particle ʼă-šer- {אֲשֶׁר־ | ʼă-šer-} ‘which’ plus the preposition nō-ḥaḵ {נֹ֖כַח | nō-ḥaḵ} ‘opposite’ directs orientation toward ma-ʻă-lē {מַעֲלֵ֣ה | ma-ʻă-lē} ‘ascent’ (mountain pass).
In context — Joshua 18:17
And it turned from the north and went out to the spring of Shemesh , proceeded to Geliloth, which faces the ascent of Adummim, and descended to the stone of Bohan , the son of Reuben.
