kiv.rah denotes a remaining stretch or extent of land along a journey or road.

The attested use marks an extent of land or remaining stretch on a route: twice in travel toward Ephrathah and once after a departure described as going a distance of land.

Senses in use

  1. A stretch of land along a route · dominant

    The construct noun occurs in route-related clauses. In Genesis 35:16 and Genesis 48:7, the APB renders a remaining stretch to Ephrathah as “some distance”; in 2 Kings 5:19, it renders the departure as going “a distance of land.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term with “some distance” in the two Ephrathah route clauses and “a distance of land” in 2 Kings 5:19. These phrases confirm the clauses' spatial setting rather than establish separate meanings.
