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.

Ezekiel 47:17 In-Context

15 "This will be the border line of the land: "On the north side it will start at the Mediterranean Sea. It will go through Hethlon, toward Lebo Hamath and on to the towns of Zedad,
16 Berothah, and Sibraim on the border between Damascus and Hamath. Then it will go on to the town of Hazer Hatticon on the border of the country of Hauran.
17 So the border line will go from the Mediterranean Sea east to the town of Hazar Enan, where the land belonging to Damascus and Hamath lies on the north side. This will be the north side of the land.
18 "On the east side the border runs south from a point between Hauran and Damascus. It will go along the Jordan between Gilead and the land of Israel and will continue to the town of Tamar on the Dead Sea. This will be the east side of the land.
19 "On the south side the border line will go east from Tamar all the way to the waters of Meribah Kadesh. Then it will run along the brook of Egypt to the Mediterranean Sea. This will be the south side of the land.
