and toward the front (eastward)

Morphological NotesConjunction וָ + noun קֶדֶם (common masculine singular absolute) with directional ה (locative, indicating motion toward). Functions adverbially to express direction. Some occurrences are tagged as proper noun, but contextually function as directional noun.
Rendering RationaleThe noun קֶדֶם (masculine singular absolute) with prefixed conjunction וָ and directional ה (locative suffix) forms an adverbial expression meaning movement toward the "front." Because the Hebrew worldview orients the front toward the east, this naturally conveys "eastward," while preserving the root sense of forwardness or what is before.
