Exegesis
The direct object et-haYarden {אֶת־הַיַּרְדֵּ֔ן | ʾet-ha·yăr·dēn} identifies the Jordan as the concrete marker of that separation.
In context — Joshua 22:25
The LORD has set the Jordan as a boundary between us and you, sons of Reuben and sons of Gad. You have no share in the LORD, and your sons will make our sons cease to fear the LORD.
