Hazarenan: Ezekiel 47:17
Reciprocal: Numbers 34:7 - north border Ezekiel 11:10 - in
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And the border shall go on to Ziphron,.... Which in the Jerusalem Targum is called Zapherin; and Jerom s says, that in his time this city was called Zephyrium, a town in Cilicia; but this seems to be at too great a distance:
and the goings out of it shall be at Hazarenan; which was the utmost of the northern border, and so it is in Ezekiel 47:17 and there called the border of Damascus: Reland t takes it to be the same with Enhazor, a city in the tribe of Naphtali, Joshua 19:37, the words only inverted:
this shall be your northern border: from the Mediterranean sea to Hazarenan in Naphtali.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The northern border. On the “Mount Hor,” compare Numbers 20:22 note. Here the name denotes the whole western crest of Mount Lebanon, 80 miles in length, commencing east of Zidon, and terminating with the point immediately above the entrance of Hamath (compare Numbers 13:21). The extreme point in the northern border of the land was the city of Zedad (Sadad), about 30 miles east of the entrance of Hamath. Hence, the border turned back southwestward to Ziphron (Zifran), about 40 miles northeast of Damascus. Hazar-enan may be conjecturally identified with Ayun ed-Dara, a fountain situate in the very heart of the great central chain of Antilibanus.
