qa.tsah marks the extremities of constructed objects, lands, heavens, and described ways.

The term most often marks the physical extremities of crafted items, where wings, cherubim, rings, cords, or joined pieces are located. It also denotes the far reaches of the earth or heavens, and in Job 26:14 it describes the outer bounds of God's ways.
