ta.ah denotes marking out a boundary line from a stated point toward its next landmark.

The attested use concerns setting out the course of a border: the same imperfect plural form directs the addressees to trace the northern boundary from Mount Hor toward specified locations.

Senses in use

  1. Marking out a boundary course · dominant

    In Numbers 34:7, the Piel imperfect second masculine plural form occurs in the instruction to set the northern border from the Great Sea toward Mount Hor; the APB renders the clause "you shall mark out for yourselves Mount Hor." In Numbers 34:8, the same form continues the boundary instruction from Mount Hor toward Lebo-Bo and Hamath; the APB renders "you shall mark out to Lebo-Bo and Hamath."

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across Numbers 34:7 and Numbers 34:8, the APB presents the boundary instructions with "mark out." This reflects the clauses' presentation rather than a precise English-token mapping.
