Exegesis
Finally, the temporal clause ad asher-naavor {עַד אֲשֶֽׁר־נַעֲבֹ֖ר | ʿad ʼă-šer-na-ʿă-vôr} ‘until we pass through’ coupled with gevulekha {גְּבֻלֶֽךָ | gə-vu-lê-kha} marks spatial and temporal limits. The English sequence preserves the Hebrew’s respectful requests and assurances.
In context — Numbers 21:22
Let me pass through your land. We will not turn aside into a field or into a vineyard. We will not drink water from a well. We will go along the King’s Highway until we have passed through your border .
