Exegesis
The prepositional phrase ad-nokhach {עַד־נֹ֣כַח | ʿad-nōḥāḥ} ‘up to the front’ marks direction, followed by the appositive hi yerushalayim {הִ֖יא יְרוּשָׁלָ֑͏ִם | hīʾ yᵉrūšālayim} ‘it is Jerusalem’, which identifies ancient Jebus.
In context — Judges 19:10
But the man would not stay overnight, so he rose and departed, and he came to the opposite of Jebus, which is Jerusalem. And with him were a pair of saddled donkeys, and his concubine was with him.
