Exegesis
The construct ligvuloteyha {לִגְבֽוּלֹתֶ֛יהָ | li-gvu-lō-tē-hā} ‘according to its boundaries’, the adverb saviv {סָבִיב | sā-vîv} ‘all around’, and the prepositional phrase lemishpechotam {לְמִשְׁפְּחֹתָֽם | lə-mish-pə-ḥō-tām} ‘by their families’ specify territorial limits. Hebrew’s construct chains and locative elements organize the boundary description, which is rendered in English by preserving spatial logic and sequence.
In context — Joshua 18:20
And the Jordan shall be its boundary on the eastern side; this is the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin according to its boundaries all around by their families .
