Numbers 34:7

And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor:

And this shall be your northern border,.... What follows:

from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor; not that Mount Hor on which Aaron died, for that was on the southern border of the land; but rather Mount Herman, which is said to be unto the entering into Hamath, Joshua 13:5 as this Mount Hor is in the following verse; or some part of Mount Lebanon might be so called, which was the northern border of the land: the Targum of Jonathan calls it Umanus; and the Jerusalem Targum, Manus or Taurus Umanus, the Mountain Umanus, which divided Syria and Cilicia; it is joined with Lebanon by Josephus {p}, and with that and Carmel by Aelianus {q}.


{p} Antiqu. l. 1. c. 6. sect. 2.
{q} De Animal. l. 5. c. 56.
