In Hamishi, we have two psukim which parse the words kumu v'ivru slightly differently.
In that pasuk we have kumu and v'ivru parsing together, which is different than what we have in Pasukh Avdalad.
Because the verb v'ivru, to cross, should go with nachal arnon, which is what you are crossing.
That's a little bit unexpected because you're not kumu on nachal zared, you're only ivru on nachal zared.
For comparison, it would have made more sense in Pasuk Yedgimel to do something like this.
There is a slight difference between these two, in that in the first example we only have two verbs in play, kumu v'ivru, and in the second example we have three, kumu si'u v'ivru.
It may be enlightening to look at other examples where we have the verb kum together with other verbs to see if they do parse together.
And I think the best example is in Parashat Vayetze, Perik Lamed Aleph, Pasuk Yud Gimel.
Anokhi ha'el b'iz'el, asher mashachta sham matzeva, asher nadarta li sham neder ata.
Not that much unlike our example ata kumu vivru lachem es nachal zored Another example with the words kum and say we have in Parashat Vayira, Parag Yotet, Pasuk Yodaled.
This is a fairly good collection of evidence that when we have the verb kum, we can use it together with the next verb, in order to mean an expression like get up and go.
Although, just to be sure, we have a counterexample from a few weeks ago in Balak, Here, kum and leich are parsed separately.
