Ezekiel 47:17
Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

And the border from the sea even to the court of Enan, shall be the border of Damascus, and from the north to the north: the border of Emath, this is the north side.

the border from.

31? to

35? N. lat. and from

34? to

37? E. long.; being bounded on the north by a line drawn from the Mediterranean to Hamath; on the east by Damascus, Hauran, Gilead, and the land of Israel east of Jordan, unto the south of the Dead sea; on the south by Tamar and Kadesh, unto the river of Rhinocorura; and on the west by the Mediterranean sea, from the same point northward till a man came over against Hamath; and its length from north to south would be about

280 miles, and its breadth about

150 miles. The ten tribes, as well a Judah and Benjamin, were to be admitted to a full share in this inheritance, which seems to imply, that the future restoration to the promised land is predicted; while the admission of strangers who sojourned in the land to a share in the inheritance, as if native Israelites, plainly intimates the calling of the Gentiles into the church, and their joint inheritance of its privileges, and of the heavenly felicity.

Hazarchan.

Numbers 34:9 And the limits shall go as far as Zephrona, and the village of Enan. These shall be the borders on the north side.
