Hazar-hatticon is probably, as in the margin, the middle Hazar, to distinguish it from Hazar-enan Eze 47:17<\/span>.<\/P><\/p>\n Verse 16<\/span>.

Sibraim, or Sabarim, a place of no further note than the former, known thus by being a boundary. It lay between these two, Hamath to the west of it, and Damascus to the east by north, somewhat nearer to Hamath than to Damascus. <\/P> Hazar-hatticon; <\/B>though we render it as a proper name, some render it otherwise. The small villages between them two, (so the French,) i.e. between Hamath and Hauran. <\/P> Hauran, <\/B>or Auran, some miles beyond Jordan, eastward from Hamath, which also gives name to the country called Auranitis. <\/P> <\/p>\n 16. Hamath<\/B>As Israel was aseparate people, so their land was a separate land. On no scene couldthe sacred history have been so well transacted as on it. On the eastwas the sandy desert. On the north and south, mountains. On the west,an inhospitable sea-shore. But it was not always to be a separateland. Between the parallel ranges of Lebanon is the long valley ofEl-Bekaa, leading to “the entering in of Hamath” on theOrontes, in the Syrian frontier. Roman roads, and the harbor made atCsarea, opened out doors through which the Gospel should go from itto all lands. So in the last days, when all shall flock to Jerusalemas the religious center of the world. <\/P> Berothah<\/B>a city inSyria conquered by David (2Sa 8:8<\/span>);meaning “wells.” <\/P> Hazar-hatticon<\/B>meaning”the middle village.” <\/P> Hauran<\/B>a tract inSyria, south of Damascus; Auranitis.<\/P><\/p>\n Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim<\/strong>,…. The line of the northern border should be drawn on by Hamath, the same with Antiochia in Syria, since called Epiphania, as Jerom observes, from Antiochus Epiphanies; and go on by Berothah, a city of Hadadezer king of Zobah, 2Sa 8:8<\/span>, the same with the Barothena of Ptolemy q, placed by him in Syria; and from thence the line would be carried on to Sibraim, a city in Arabia Deserta:<\/p>\n which is between the border of Damascus<\/strong>; the chief city in Syria: and the border of Hamath; before mentioned. Calmet r imagines it to be that which Ishmael Abulfeda calls Hovvarin; which he says is a village of the country of Ems or Hamath, to the southeast of the city.<\/p>\n Hazarhatticon, which is by the coast of Hauran<\/strong>; this seems to be explanative of Sibraim, which lay between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; and therefore is called the middle town or village, as “Hazarhatticon” signifies; and lay by the coast of Hauran, which Jerom calls a town of Damascus, with which it is mentioned,<\/p>\n Eze 47:18<\/span>, from whence the country adjacent is called Auranitis, as this place is here by the Septuagint. The Targum calls Hazar the fish pool of the Agbeans; but for what reason, and what is meant by it, I know not.<\/p>\n q Geograph. l. 5. c. 19. r Dictionary, in the word “Sibraim”.<\/p>\n (16) Hamath<\/strong> is not to be understood of the city of Hamath on the Orontes (which was much too far to the north), but of the boundary of the district of Hamath; this cannot be now precisely fixed, but certainly came as far south as the entrance of Hamath (Num. 34:8<\/span>), or the defile between the Lebanon and Antilebanon Mountains which leads to Hamath. This defile, however, is many miles in length, and the authorities differ as to whether its southern end or its northern (where the Lebanon and Antilebanon ranges end, and a rolling country several miles broad intervenes between them and the next ranges) should be called the entrance to Hamath.<\/p>\n Berothah<\/strong> is also mentioned in 2Sa. 8:8<\/span>, as one of the cities conquered by David from the king of Zobah, and it is evident from this passage that it was between Hamath and Damascus; but nothing further is known of its situation.<\/p>\n Sibraim<\/strong> may be the same with Ziphron of Num. 34:9<\/span>, and must have been on the confines of the two kingdoms of Hamath and Damascus; but nothing more is known of it, and it is not mentioned elsewhere.<\/p>\n Hazar-hatticon.<\/strong>That is, as noted in the margin, the middle Hazar,<\/em> to distinguish it from the Hazar-enan mentioned in the next verse. All that is known of it is from this passage, that it was on the border of the district of Hauran. Hauran, here and in Eze. 47:18<\/span>, is used in a wider sense than the classic Auranitis,<\/em> and includes also Gaulanitis (Golan), and Batana (Bashan), in fact the whole land between the territories of Damascus and Gilead (Eze. 47:18<\/span>).<\/p>\n Eze 47:16 Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which [is] between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazarhatticon, which [is] by the coast of Hauran.<\/p>\n Ver. 16.

All this is to set forth the amplitude of the Christian Church, spread far and near upon the face of the whole earth, and therefore rightly called Catholic.
