Wesley: Eze 47:15 - The great sea

The Mediterranean, which was the greatest sea the Jews knew.

JFB: Eze 47:15 - Zedad

Clarke: Eze 47:15 - The way of Hethlon, as men go to Zedad

The way of Hethlon, as men go to Zedad - Probably Hethlon is the same as Cuthlon, a city of Syria, between Antioch and Laodicea, according to Antoninus. Some of these places are not known; but see the same kind of division, Num 34:7-12.

Tafsiran/Catatan -- Catatan Kata/Frasa (per Ayat)

Poole: Eze 47:15 - Hethlon // Zedad

In bounding the land, the prophet is informed what is the north border first. The great sea ; called so, not that it is the greatest, for it is the Mediterranean here spoken of, but with respect to the Jews; this to them was the greatest they knew or traded on: from this sea doth the measuring of the land begin, from the west point along to Hethlon.

Hethlon is called Hethalon by Adrichmius, in the tribe of Asher, at the foot or near the Mount Herman or Senir, as Eze 27:5 calls that mount: this city was in the north-east of Asher’ s lot, and on the north-west of Naphtali’ s lot, in the old division of the land.

Zedad is Sedada, a small town under the same hill, and near the head of the river Eleutherus, anciently Gebat.

Haydock: Eze 47:15 - Sedada

Sedada. These places are not well known. They seem to be near the highest mountain specified, (Numbers xxxiv. 7.) west of Emesa.

Gill: Eze 47:15 - And this shall be the border of the land toward the north side // from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, as men go to Zedad

And this shall be the border of the land toward the north side,.... The description of the borders of the land begins on the north side; because the Gospel, and the interest of Christ, would be, as they now are, chiefly in the northern part of the world, before the latter day glory takes place, and from thence spread into the other parts of it:

from the great sea, the way of Hethlon, as men go to Zedad; the line of this border shall begin at the Mediterranean sea, commonly called the great sea, and so proceed to Hethlon, a city in Syria Damascene, and from thence to Zedad; of which see Num 34:8, the description is taken all along from the places which were on the border of Canaan, or in countries adjacent to it, which plainly point out the enlargement of it.
