Exegesis
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.
In context — Numbers 21:13
From there they traveled and camped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness , coming out from the border of the Amorite ; for the Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorite.
