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 shall be the boundary of the land: On the north side it will extend from the Great Sea by way of Hethlon through Lebo-hamath to Zedad,
16 Berothah, and Sibraim (which is on the border between Damascus and Hamath), as far as Hazer-hatticon, which is on the border of Hauran.
17 So the border will run from the Sea to Hazar-enan, along the northern border of Damascus, with the territory of Hamath to the north. This will be the northern boundary.
18 On the east side the border will run between Hauran and Damascus, along the Jordan between Gilead and the land of Israel, to the Eastern Sea and as far as Tamar. This will be the eastern boundary.
19 On the south side it will run from Tamar to the waters of Meribath-kadesh, and along the Brook of Egypt to the Great Sea. This will be the southern boundary.
