About Hazar-enan
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.
