Exegesis
The final phrase li-gvul {לִגְב֥וּל | li-gvul} ‘to border’ links to mō-ʾāḇ {מוֹאָב | mō-ʾāḇ}, marking Moab’s boundary. The English rendering preserves Hebrew directional structure within a single descriptive clause.
In context — Numbers 21:15
And the slope of the ravines which extends to the settlement of Ar , and leans against the border of Moab.
