SCRIPTURE

"from mount Hor ye shall mark out unto the entrance of Hamath; and the goings out of the border shall be at Zedad;" — Numbers 34:8 (ASV)

From Mount Hor you shall point out your border unto the entrance
of Hamath
Antiochia, as Jarchi; or rather Epiphania, as JeromeF18; the former being described by Hemath the great, (Amos 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 (Ezekiel 47:15).
