ge.li.lah denotes a boundary area or border, including the Jordan boundary and an eastward boundary route.

The attested usage denotes a boundary or border area: most often in plural construct forms for regions or the Jordan’s borders, and once in a singular form for an eastern border.

1. Boundary areas and the Jordan’s borders · dominant

   The plural construct forms occur with territorial settings: in Joshua 13:2 the APB renders the clause "all the regions of the Philistines and all the Geshurites," while Joshua 22:10 and Joshua 22:11 place the altar at "the borders of the Jordan."

2. An eastern boundary · rare

   In Ezekiel 47:8, the singular absolute form marks the direction toward which the waters go; the APB renders "toward the eastern border."

   Ezekiel 47:8

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the plural occurrences as "regions" in Joshua 13:2 and "borders" in Joshua 22:10 and Joshua 22:11, and presents the singular occurrence as "border" in Ezekiel 47:8. These renderings confirm the boundary setting without establishing finer distinctions.
