Exegesis
The verse begins with the Vav-consecutive perfect verb ve-shav {וְשָׁב | wə-šāv} ‘and turned back’, establishing a sequential movement of the boundary.
In the second clause, ve-shav ha-gevul chosa {וְשָׁב הַגְּבוּל חֹסָה | wə-šāv ha-gebul ḥō-sāh} repeats this pattern, then ve-hayu {וְהָיוּ | wə-hā-yū} ‘and were’ links to totse’otav {תֹצְאֹתָיו | tō-ṣō-’ō-tāw} ‘its outlets’.
