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.
