EZEKIEL CHAPTER 48
The portions of the twelve tribes, Eze_48:1-7,23-29, of the sanctuary, Eze_48:8-14, of the city and suburbs, Eze_48:15-20, and of the prince, Eze_48:21,22. The dimensions and gates of the city, Eze_48:30-35.
From the north end; as the measurer began to bound the land first on the north side, so he will first place the tribe to whom the most northern lot fell, or rather was assigned by a Divine direction. To the coast; along through the coast that leads from the west or great sea to Hethlon. Hethlon: see Eze_47:15. Hamath; a frontier city of that name; see Eze_47:16; anciently the royal city of Toi, who congratulated David in his victory over Hadadezer king of Syria Zobah, 2Sa_8:9,10. Hazar-enan: see Eze_47:17, for I meet with no more concerning it. The border of Damascus; and so on by the border of Damascus, which lay further eastward than Enan, as geographers describe it. To the coast of Hamath: this is Syria, and perhaps might have been best so translated; along bordering on this coast the rest of the northern boundary did run. His sides; the land, or Dan, mentioned immediately after. East; that is, from the east point, where Mount Libanus joineth to Gilead, to the west point, which is supposed in the midland sea, near the hot baths or Sidon: see Eze_47:20. For Dan; the tribe of Dan, and the strangers that sojourn with him.
