Hethlon
Hethlon
(Heb. Chethlon’, , wrappedup, i.e. a hiding-place; Vulg. Hethalon), a place the approach (, way) to which lay on the northern border of Palestine, between the Mediterranean and Zedad, in the direction of Hamath (Eze 47:15; Eze 48:1). In all probability the way of Hethlon is the pass at the (N. or S.) end of Lebanon, from the sea-coast of the Mediterranean to the great plain of Hamath, and is thus identical with the entrance of Hamath (q.v.)in Num 34:8, etc. See Porter, Five Years in Damascus, 2, 356.

Hethlon
HETHLON.A place mentioned by Ezekiel (Eze 47:15; Eze 48:1) as situated on the ideal northern boundary of Israel. Furrer identifies it with the present Heiteta, N.E. of Tripoli; and von Kasteren and others favour Adlun, north of the mouth of the Kasimiyyeh.

Hethlon
hethlon (, hethlon; Peshitta hethron): Name of a place associated with Zedad on the ideal northern boundary of Israel, as given in Eze 47:15 and Eze 48:1, but not named in Num 34:8, while the Septuagint evidently translated the text it had. In accordance with the opinion they hold as to the boundary line of Northern Israel, van Kasteren and Buhl seek to identify Hethlon with ‘Adlun on the river Qasmiyeh. Much more in harmony with the line of the other border towns given is its identification with Heitala to the Northeast of Tripoli. The way of Hethlon would then coincide with the Eleutherus valley, between Homs and the Mediterranean, through which the railway now runs, and to this identification the Septuagint seems to give testimony, indicating some path of descent from the Biqa’a.
