Ezekiel 47:17 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 47:17

And the border from the sea shall be Hazarenan, the border of
Damascus
Which was the furthermost part and end of the northern border, as fixed by Moses, ( Numbers 34:9 ) : and the north northward, and the border of Hamath;
if this is carrying on the border further, it seems to be another Hamath, distinct from the former, ( Ezekiel 47:16 ) , and this is the north side:
of the land, and the description of the northern border of it, from the Mediterranean sea to Hazarenan.

16 Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazer-hatticon, which is by the border of Hauran.

17 And the border from the sea shall be Hazar-enan, the border of Damascus, and the north northward, and the border of Hamath: this is the north side.

18 -- And on the east side ye shall measure between Hauran and Damascus, and Gilead and the land of Israel [by] the Jordan, from the border unto the east sea: this is the east side.

19 -- And the south side southward, from Tamar to the waters of Meribah-Kadesh, by the torrent, unto the great sea: this is the south side southward.
