Hazar-enan Article
STEPBible TIPNR
Hazar-enan, meaning "village of springs," was a town situated on the northern border of the Promised Land, as described in Numbers 34:9-10. It served as a boundary marker between the territories of Damascus and Hamath. The prophet Ezekiel, in his vision of the restored land of Israel, mentioned Hazar-enan as part of the northern border of the land allocated to the tribe of Dan (Ezk.48.1). Hazar-enan was also listed as a point on the eastern frontier of the land (Ezk.47.17). Its exact location is uncertain, but it was likely in the region of modern-day Lebanon or Syria.
Hazar-enan Dictionary
Easton's Bible Dictionary (1897)
Village of fountains, a place on the north-east frontier of Palestine (Num. 34:9, 10). Some have identified it with Ayan ed-Dara in the heart of the central chain of Anti-Libanus. More probably, however, it has been identified with Kuryetein, about 60 miles east-north-east of Damascus. (Comp. Ezek. 47:17; 48:1.)
