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 is the northern border for the land: On the north side the border will run from the Mediterranean Sea all the way to Hethlon and Hamath Pass. It will run through the city of Zedad and through
16 Berothah and Sibraim, which are between the borders of Damascus and Hamath. It will run to Hazer Hatticon, which is on the border of Hauran.
17 So the border will run from the Mediterranean Sea to Hazar Enon on the border of Damascus. The border of Hamath will lie to the north. This is the north side.
18 On the east side the border will run between Hauran and Damascus. The Jordan River will serve as the border between Gilead and the land of Israel. The border will continue from the Dead Sea down to Tamar. This is the east side.
19 On the south side the border will run from Tamar to the oasis at Meribah in Kadesh along the ravine to the Mediterranean Sea. This is the southern border.
