And the border shall go on to Ziphron, and the goings out of it shall be at Hazar-enan: this shall be your north border.

Ziphron - sweet odour.

Hazar-enan - village of fountains. But the places are unknown. 'The border, therefore, ran from the shore of the Mediterranean across the level tract on the coast toward the northern brow of this range, and then swept through the great pass to the border of the plain on the east' (Porter's 'Damascus,' 2:, pp. 356, 357; Drew's 'Scripture Lands,' p. 127).
