Numbers 34:8

From Mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto the entrance

Antiochia, as Jarchi; or rather Epiphania, as Jerom {r}; the former being described by Hemath the great, ( Amos 6:2 ) , this entrance was a narrow pass leading from the land of Canaan to Syria, through the valley which lies between Lebanon and Antilibanus:

and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad;
the same boundary as here is given in ( Ezekiel 47:15 ) .
