Exegesis
The destination phrase eis Kapharnaoum {εἰς Καφαρναοὺμ | eis Kapharnaoúm} is then narrowed by tēn parathalassian {τὴν παραθαλασσίαν | tḗn parathalassían} ‘the shoreline’, while en horiois {ἐν ὁρίοις | en horíois} expands the frame to the borders of Zaboulon {Ζαβουλὼν | Zaboulṓn} and Nephthalim {Νεφθαλίμ | Nephthalím}. The syntax moves from departure to arrival to settlement, then from town to territory, creating a deliberate narrowing and widening effect that prepares the prophetic reading of the next verses.
In context — Matthew 4:13
And after leaving Nazareth, He took up residence in Capernaum by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali.
