Commentary on Ezekiel 47:15

Theological / Devotional

The border of the land. There are many similarities between the boundaries given here and those given in Num. 34:1-15. There, however, the southern boundary is given first, doubtless because the Israelites were coming from Egypt. Here the northern boundary may be given first because the people would be returning to Palestine from the north.

From the great sea. The boundary begins at the Mediterranean, but the exact point is not given. Judging from the other geographical points mentioned, the point was probably somewhere near what came to be known as Tripolis. Some begin the border near Tyre.

Hetlilon. Mentioned only here and in Ezekiel 48:1. Its location is not certain.

Zedad. This place has been identified with the modern Sadad, about 58 mi. (92.8 km.) south by east from Hamath.
