Heleph. The first part of this verse reads literally, “their boundary was from Heleph, from the oak in Zaanannim.” Heleph is unknown, but Judges 4:11 mentions the “plain” (oak) of Zaanannim as near Kedesh, although the exact site remains unknown. It was at this place that Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite, slew Sisera (Judges 4:21). The name Zaanannim is derived from the Hebrew verb sa‘an, which means “to wander.” This definition indicates a place where the tents of wanderers, nomads, were pitched. Heber was probably such a nomadic herdsman.

Adanti, Nekeb. Probably a compound name, Adami-Nekeb.

Jordan. The description of the border begins at the upper Jordan valley above the former Lake Huleh. The eastern boundary was the Jordan, including Lake Huleh and the Sea of Chinnereth. The description is next of the southern boundary.
