From Mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto the entrance of Hamath,.... Antiochia, as Jarchi; or rather Epiphania, as Jerom ; the former being described by Hemath the great, Am 6:2, this entrance was a narrow pass leading from the land of Canaan to Syria, through the valley which lies between Lebanon and Antilibanus:and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad; the same boundary as here is given in Eze 47:15.

Comment. in Ezek. 47.
