Ezekiel 48:1

¶ Now these [are] the names of the tribes. From the north end to the coast of the way of Hethlon, as one goeth to Hamath, Hazarenan, the border of Damascus northward, to the coast of Hamath; for these are his sides east [and] west; a [portion for] Dan.

Now these are the names {H8034} of the tribes {H7626}. From the north {H6828} end {H7097} to the coast {H3027} of the way {H1870} of Hethlon {H2855}, as one goeth {H935} to Hamath {H2574}, Hazarenan {H2704}, the border {H1366} of Damascus {H1834} northward {H6828}, to the coast {H3027} of Hamath {H2574}; for these are his sides {H6285} east {H6921} and west {H3220}; a {H259} portion for Dan {H1835}.

"'Following is the list of tribes: "'This is Dan's territory: from the north end, through Hetlon to the entrance of Hamat, Hatzar-'Einan (at the border of Dammesek), northward, next to Hamat; and they will have their sides east and west.

“Now these are the names of the tribes: At the northern frontier, Dan will have one portion bordering the road of Hethlon to Lebo-hamath and running on to Hazar-enan on the border of Damascus with Hamath to the north, and extending from the east side to the west side.

Now these are the names of the tribes: From the north end, beside the way of Hethlon to the entrance of Hamath, Hazar-enan at the border of Damascus, northward beside Hamath (and they shall have their sides east and west), Dan, one portion.
