Exegesis
The prepositional phrases ha-yamah {הַיָּמָּה | ha-yā-māh} ‘to the sea’ and me-chevel akzivah {מֵחֶבֶל אַכְזִיבָה | mē-ḥe-vel ’ak-zī-bāh} ‘from the region of Akzib’ define the western terminus and specific endpoint. The repeated boundary noun and Vav-consecutive verbs emphasize the outline of the territory. Some manuscripts include Mahalab after Akzib; this variant is reflected in the translation.
In context — Joshua 19:29
And the boundary turned back toward Ramah and reached the fortified city of Tyre; then it turned back to Hosah, and its outlets reached the sea from the territory of Akzib , including Mahalab.
