Exegesis
The directional phrase mêʿēḇer lə-yar-ḏên {מֵעֵ֖בֶר לְיַרְדֵּ֥ן | mêʿēḇer lə-yar-ḏên} ‘from across to the Jordan’ provides orientation, and the proper noun yərēḥō {יְרֵחֽוֹ | yə-rē-ḥō} ‘Jericho’ pinpoints the nearby city. The combination of spatial and directional clauses establishes precise geographical framing while the vav-consecutive structure aligns with Hebrew historical narrative conventions.
In context — Numbers 22:1
And the sons of Israel journeyed on and set up camp in the plains of Moab , beyond the Jordan opposite Jericho .
