FOOTNOTES:

F12 called Masan, and said to be near Carmel to the sea:

and reacheth to Carmel westward;
or, "to the sea", as Carmel is called "Carmel by the sea", (See Gill on Jeremiah 46:18): it is hereby distinguished from Carmel in the tribe of Judah, ( Joshua 15:55 ) ; (Pliny ^F13 calls it a promontory):

and to Shihorlibnath;
the Vulgate Latin and Septuagint versions make two places of it: but the sum of the cities after given will not admit of it: more rightly Junius renders it Sihor by Libhath, and takes Sihor to be the river Belus, or Pagidus; so called either because of its likeness to the Nile, one of whose names is Sihor, ( Jeremiah 2:18 ) ; or because its waters might be black and muddy; it was the river out of which sand was fetched to make glass of: and Libnath, which has its name from whiteness, the same writer thinks may be the Album Promontorium, or white promontory of Pliny ^F14, which he places near Ptolemais, between Ecdippa and Tyre, and is very probable.
