Ezekiel 47:15-17

[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;  [16] Hamath,  Berothah,  Sibraim,  which is between the border  of Damascus  and the border  of Hamath;  Hazarhatticon,  which is by the coast  of Hauran.  [17] And the border  from the sea  shall be Hazarenan,  the border  of Damascus,  and the north  and the border  of Hamath.  And this is the north  side. 

What does Ezekiel 47:15-17 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

The Lord specified the boundaries by listing place names that the Israelites of Ezekiel"s day would have known. Not all of them are identifiable today.
The northern boundary would run from the Great (Mediterranean) Sea east, following the road to Hethlon, to the entrance of the town of Zedad, and through the region of Hamath (cf. 1 Kings 8:65) near Berothah to Sibraim. It then ran through Hazar-hatticon (lit. the middle Hazar) on the border of the territory of Hauran. Hazar-enan (perhaps the same as Hazar-hatticon) seems to have been the easternmost town in this string. It apparently stood between the borders of the territories controlled by Damascus and Hamath. Some of these sites apparently stood within or adjacent to the region described, not just along its border.
