A boundary marker on the eastern frontier of Ezekiels restored Israel near Damascus and Hauran
SyriaHazer-hatticon ("middle village") was a boundary point in Ezekiel's great vision of the restored borders of Israel, named on the northeastern frontier: "Hazer-hatticon, which is by the coast of Hauran" (Ezekiel 47:16). The site lay on the eastern frontier between Damascus and the Hauran plateau — well beyond any territory Israel ever actually controlled. Like the other Ezekiel 47 frontier landmarks (Zedad, Berothah, Hazar-enan), Hazer-hatticon defined the ideal divinely-promised inheritance rather than historical political reality.
