Ezekiel 47:15 - Exposition

The north boundary . And this shall be the border of the land toward the north side . The Revised Version follows Kliefoth and Keil in detaching the last clause from the preceding words, and reading. This shall be the border of the land : on the north side . From the great sea , the Mediterranean, by the way of Hethlon, as men go to (or, unto the entering in of ) Zedad . The former of these places ( Chethlon ), which is again mentioned in Ezekiel 48:1 , has not yet been identified, though Currey suggests for the "way," "the defile between the ranges of Lebanus and Antilibanus, from the sea to Hamath." The latter (Zedad) Wetstein and Robinson find in the city of Sadad ( Sudud ), east of the road leading from Damascus to Humo (Emesa), and therefore west of Hamath; but as Hamath in all probability lay to the east of Zedad, this opinion must be rejected.
