beyond the Jordan
A region or side that is across or beyond, typically used in reference to a space or area on the far side of a boundary, river, or landmark—most often the side opposite the speaker’s location. Frequently designates the territory or peoples east of the Jordan River (i.e., 'the other side', especially from the perspective west of the Jordan), but can refer generally to any land, quarter, or boundary region lying across or beyond a given point. In some contexts, used adverbially or prepositionally to indicate directionality, opposition, or passage to another side.

in the region beyond of
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ + masculine singular common noun in construct state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun עֵבֶר denotes the region or side that has been crossed over—"that which is beyond." In construct with the prefixed preposition בְּ, it yields "in the region beyond of," preserving both the spatial-crossing sense of the root and the construct relationship. |
