Exegesis
Finally, u’veshihor {וּבְשִׁיח֖וֹר | u-ve-ši-hor} ‘and at Shihor’ combined with livnāt {לִבְנָֽת | liv-nāt} ‘Libnath’ completes the boundary description. The repeated vav conjunctions and compound place-name phrases reflect the standard Israelite territorial delimitation pattern.
In context — Joshua 19:26
The boundary included Alammelek, Amad, and Mishal ; then it reached Carmel toward the sea and Shihor Libnath .
