Exegesis
A second ufaga leads into a relative clause with elhanakhal {אֶל־הַנַּ֔חַל | ʾel-ha-na-ḥal} ‘to the brook’, asher {אֲשֶׁ֖ר | ʾa-šer} ‘that,’ and alpenei {עַל־פְּנֵ֥י | ʿal-pə-ney} ‘before’ modifying the place name yokneam {יָקְנְעָֽם | yāq-nə-ʿām} ‘Jokneam.’ The string of prepositions and vav-consecutives is rendered in English by a mix of spatial prepositions and conjunctions to preserve the Hebrew sequence while ensuring readability.
In context — Joshua 19:11
And their border went up to the sea and to Maralah , and it touched Dabbesheth, and it reached the brook that is before Jokneam.
