Exegesis
The unmarked noun menuchah {מְנוּחָה | mə·nû·ḥâ} functions as the starting point for trampling rather than indicating rest, while the preposition ad {עַד | ʿad} marks extension of action to nochakh ha-givah {נֹכַח הַגִּבְעָה | nō·ḥaḥ ha·ġî·ḇā} “until opposite Givah,” and the locative phrase mimmizrach-shemesh {מִמִּזְרַח־שָׁמֶשׁ | mim·miz·rāḥ-šā·meš} specifies orientation from the sunrise.

g-b-‘gimel–bet–ayin
