Ezekiel 47:16

"“This shall be the border of the land: “On the north side, from the great sea, by the way of Hethlon, to the entrance of Zedad;"

Key Reflection

In Ezekiel 47:16, this description of the northern border emphasizes the extent of God's promised land, stretching from the Mediterranean Sea through strategic points like Hethlon and Zedad. It underscores both geographical boundaries and, spiritually, the comprehensive reach of God’s sovereignty and protection over His people.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

“Berothah,” probably the same as “Berothai” (marginal reference), lay between Hamath and Damascus, as did “Sibraim.” “Hazar-hatticon” is probably, as in the margin, “the middle Hazar,” to distinguish it from Hazar-enanEzekiel 47:17.
