In bounding the land, the prophet is informed what is the north border first. The great sea; called so, not that it is the greatest, for it is the Mediterranean here spoken of, but with respect to the Jews; this to them was the greatest they knew or traded on: from this sea doth the measuring of the land begin, from the west point along to Hethlon. Hethlon is called Hethalon by Adrichmius, in the tribe of Asher, at the foot or near the Mount Herman or Senir, as Ezekiel 27:5 calls that mount: this city was in the north-east of Asher's lot, and on the north-west of Naphtali's lot, in the old division of the land. Zedad is Sedada, a small town under the same hill, and near the head of the river Eleutherus, anciently Gebat.
