Numbers 34:8

entrance of Hamath—The northern plain between those mountain ranges, now the valley of Balbeck (see on Numbers 13:21).

Zedad—identified as the present Sudud (Ezekiel 47:15).



Numbers 34:7-9

north border—The principal difficulty in understanding the description here arises from what our translators have called mount Hor. The Hebrew words, however, Hor-ha-Hor, properly signify "the mountain of the mountain," or "the high double mountain," which, from the situation, can mean nothing else than the mountain Amana (Song of Solomon 4:8), a member of the great Lebanon range (Joshua 13:5).
