Exegesis
The noun phrase ha-gevul ha-ramah {הַגְּבוּל הָרָמָה | ha-gebul hā-rā-māh} ‘the boundary toward Ramah’ appears before the prepositional expression ve-ad-ʿîr {וְעַד־עִיר | wə-ʿad-ʿîr} ‘and up to the city’.
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’.
