Hazar-Hatticon

Hazar-Hatticon is a boundary marker in Ezekiel's vision of the restored land. It appears once, at the northern edge of the territory the prophet maps out for the returning tribes, situated by the border of Hauran east of Damascus. The UPDV spells the name "Hazer-hatticon."

A Place on the Boundary of Hauran

The site is one of several anchor points along the prophet's northern line:

"Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim, which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath; Hazer-hatticon, which is by the border of Hauran" (Eze 47:16).

The verse strings together a chain of named locations — Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim — and closes by pinning Hazer-hatticon against the Hauran frontier. The function is geographical: the name sets a corner on the prophet's map of the land's outer limits.
