Exegesis
The prepositional phrase ʿim ha-gĕvul {עִם־הַגְּב֖וּל | ʿim ha-gĕvul} ‘with the border’ functions as a locative adjunct, and mul yā-fō {מוּל יָפֽוֹ | mul yā-fō} ‘opposite Joppa’ specifies spatial orientation relative to the known city. The formal translation preserves the Hebrew’s clear coordination and literal order, while the dynamic version conveys the boundary relation idiomatically with “lie along.”
