The Mediterranean Sea served as a significant geographical landmark for the Israelites, marking the western boundary of the Promised Land. In the context of Ezekiel's vision, it symbolizes the vastness and completeness of God's promise to restore Israel. The sea is also a symbol of chaos in ancient Near Eastern cultures, and its inclusion in the boundary signifies God's sovereignty over all creation.to Hazar-enan Hazar-enan is a location mentioned in the Bible as a northern boundary point of the land allotted to the tribes of Israel. Its exact location is uncertain, but it is believed to be in the region of modern-day Syria. The name "Hazar-enan" means "village of springs," indicating a place of water sources, which were crucial for survival in the arid climate. This boundary point emphasizes the extent of the land promised to Israel, reaching into territories that were historically significant and often contested.along the northern border of Damascus Damascus is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world and was a major city in the ancient Near East. It was a center of trade and culture, often interacting with Israel throughout biblical history. The mention of Damascus as a boundary highlights the northern reach of the land in Ezekiel's vision, extending into areas that were traditionally outside of Israel's control. This reflects the prophetic vision of a restored and expanded Israel under God's rule.with the territory of Hamath to the north Hamath was an ancient city-state located in what is now western Syria. It was a significant political and cultural center in the ancient world. The inclusion of Hamath in the boundary description indicates the northernmost extent of the land envisioned in Ezekiel's prophecy. Historically, Hamath was often an ally or adversary of Israel, and its mention here underscores the comprehensive nature of the restoration and expansion of Israel's territory.This will be the northern boundary This phrase concludes the description of the northern boundary of the land in Ezekiel's vision. It signifies the definitive and divinely ordained limits of the territory. In the broader context of Ezekiel's prophecy, this boundary is part of a larger vision of the restoration of Israel, both physically and spiritually. It reflects God's faithfulness to His covenant promises and foreshadows the ultimate fulfillment of these promises in the eschatological future, often interpreted as pointing to the Messianic age and the reign of Christ.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/t/the_sea.htm">The Sea</a> Refers to the Mediterranean Sea, which is a significant geographical marker in the biblical land of Israel. 2. <a href="/topical/h/hazar-enan.htm">Hazar-enan</a> A location mentioned as a boundary point, possibly meaning "village of springs" in Hebrew, indicating a place of sustenance and life. 3. <a href="/topical/d/damascus.htm">Damascus</a> The capital of modern-day Syria, historically a significant city in the Near East, often mentioned in biblical prophecies and accounts. 4. <a href="/topical/h/hamath.htm">Hamath</a> An ancient city-state located in modern-day Syria, often associated with the northern boundaries of Israel in biblical texts. 5. <a href="/topical/n/northern_boundary.htm">Northern Boundary</a> This refers to the delineation of the land promised to Israel, emphasizing God's covenant and the restoration of Israel's territorial integrity.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><a href="/topical/g/god's_faithfulness_to_his_promises.htm">God's Faithfulness to His Promises</a> The delineation of boundaries in <a href="/ezekiel/47-17.htm">Ezekiel 47:17</a> reflects God's unwavering commitment to His covenant with Israel.

Hazar-enan means "the village of springs," and is mentioned in <a href="/ezekiel/48-1.htm" title="Now these are the names of the tribes.

For "and the border of Hamath," read even the border--i.e., the northern boundary is the (south) boundary of Hamath. While it is impossible to locate precisely this northern boundary, either as given in Numbers or by Ezekiel, it is evident that the two are identical, and that the line stretched from the Mediterranean to the territory of Damascus. The whole width of the country at this point would therefore be somewhat over thirty miles.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/ezekiel/47.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 17. - The northern boundary is further defined as extending from the sea, i.e. the Mediterranean on the west, to Hazar-enan, or the "Village of fountains," in the east, which village again is declared to have been the border, frontier city (Keil), at the border (Revised Version) of Damascus, and as having on the north northward the border or territory of Hamath. The final clause adds, And this is the north side, either understanding וְאֵת, with Gesenius, as equivalent to αὐτός, ipse, "this same," or with Hitzig and Smend, after the Syriac, substituting for it here and in vers. 18, 19 ולֺאת as in ver. 20; though Hengstenberg and Keil prefer to regard אֵת as the customary sign of the accusative, and to supply some such thought as "ye see" (Hengstenberg), or "ye shall measure" (Keil), which ver. 18 shows was in the prophet's mind. Compared with the ancient north boundary of Canaan (<a href="/numbers/34-7.htm">Numbers 34:7-9</a>), this appointed by Ezekiel's Torah for the new land shows a marked correspondence. <a href="/commentaries/ezekiel/47-17.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>So the border גְב֜וּל (ḡə·ḇūl) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1366.htm">Strong's 1366: </a> A cord, a boundary, the territory inclosed will run וְהָיָ֨ה (wə·hā·yāh) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1961.htm">Strong's 1961: </a> To fall out, come to pass, become, be from מִן־ (min-) Preposition <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4480.htm">Strong's 4480: </a> A part of, from, out of the Sea הַיָּ֗ם (hay·yām) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3220.htm">Strong's 3220: </a> A sea, the Mediterranean Sea, large river, an artifical basin to חֲצַ֤ר (ḥă·ṣar) 0 <a href="/hebrew/.htm">Strong's Hebrew</a> Hazar-enan, עֵינוֹן֙ (‘ê·nō·wn) Noun - proper - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2703.htm">Strong's 2703: </a> Hazar-enan -- a place on the southeast border of Canaan along the northern צָפ֖וֹנָה (ṣā·p̄ō·w·nāh) Noun - feminine singular | third person feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6828.htm">Strong's 6828: </a> Hidden, dark, the north as a, quarter border גְּב֣וּל (gə·ḇūl) Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1366.htm">Strong's 1366: </a> A cord, a boundary, the territory inclosed of Damascus, דַּמֶּ֔שֶׂק (dam·me·śeq) Noun - proper - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1834.htm">Strong's 1834: </a> Damascus -- a city in Aram (Syria) with the territory וּגְב֣וּל (ū·ḡə·ḇūl) Conjunctive waw | Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1366.htm">Strong's 1366: </a> A cord, a boundary, the territory inclosed of Hamath חֲמָ֑ת (ḥă·māṯ) Noun - proper - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2574.htm">Strong's 2574: </a> Hamath -- a place North of Damascus to the north. וְצָפ֥וֹן ׀ (wə·ṣā·p̄ō·wn) Conjunctive waw | Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6828.htm">Strong's 6828: </a> Hidden, dark, the north as a, quarter [This] [will be] the northern צָפֽוֹן׃ (ṣā·p̄ō·wn) Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6828.htm">Strong's 6828: </a> Hidden, dark, the north as a, quarter boundary. פְּאַ֥ת (pə·’aṯ) Noun - feminine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_6285.htm">Strong's 6285: </a> Mouth, direction, region, extremity <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/ezekiel/47-17.htm">Ezekiel 47:17 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/ezekiel/47-17.htm">Ezekiel 47:17 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/ezekiel/47-17.htm">Ezekiel 47:17 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/ezekiel/47-17.htm">Ezekiel 47:17 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/ezekiel/47-17.htm">Ezekiel 47:17 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/ezekiel/47-17.htm">Ezekiel 47:17 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/ezekiel/47-17.htm">Ezekiel 47:17 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/ezekiel/47-17.htm">Ezekiel 47:17 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/ezekiel/47-17.htm">Ezekiel 47:17 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/ezekiel/47-17.htm">Ezekiel 47:17 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/ezekiel/47-17.htm">OT Prophets: Ezekiel 47:17 The border from the sea shall be (Ezek.
