Exegesis
The relative clause ăšer hiḵraṭtî {אֲשֶׁר הִכְרַתִּי | ăšer hiḵraṭtî} ‘which I have cut off’ restricts the boundary to include only defeated peoples.
In context — Joshua 23:4
See, I have allotted for you these nations that remain to be an inheritance for your tribes from the Jordan and all the nations that I have cut off, even to the Great Sea at the setting of the sun .
