side
pe.ah denotes a side or edge, especially the directional side of a structure, territory, or boundary.
The term most often identifies a directional side or edge in descriptions of land boundaries and measured areas; it also marks sides of constructed objects and spaces. The supplied verses show this usage with north, south, east, and west designations, as well as with the sides associated with an object's feet.

In Ezekiel 47:18 the singular construct forms occur in the description of the eastern boundary, and the APB renders the repeated directional designation as “the eastern side.” In Joshua 18:14 and Joshua 18:15, the construct form belongs to the border's course and turning, with the APB rendering “the western side” and “The southern side.” The same use occurs in measured sacred space: Ezekiel 48:16 lists northern, southern, eastern, and western sides.
In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the cited clauses, the APB presents the term through expressions such as “side,” directional labels such as “the eastern side,” and boundary descriptions. In construction passages it also uses “sides” for the positions of rings and feet; these English expressions reflect whole clauses rather than a word-by-word alignment.
