Exegesis
The participle hayotze {הַיֹּצֵא | hayyōṣēʾ} ‘that comes out’ emphasizes the river emerging from migbul {מִגְּב֣וּל | mi-ḡeḇul} ‘border’ of the gentilic haemori {הָאֱמֹרִי | hā-ʾe-mōrî}.
The conjunction ki {כִּי | kî} ‘for’ introduces a causal clause, identifying the Arnon as gevul {גְּב֣וּל | ḡeḇul} ‘border’, and the phrase bein Moab ubein haemori {בֵּ֥ן מוֹאָ֖ב וּבֵ֥ן הָאֱמֹרִֽי | bêyn mō’āḇ û-bêyn hā-ʾe-mōrî} ‘between Moab and the Amorite’ delineates the territorial demarcation.
