Ezekiel47:18
18 And the East side ye shall measure from Hauran , and from Damascus , and from Gilead , and from the land of Israel by Jordan, from the border unto the East sea ; and this is the East side.
That was the North-East bound, where we must begin to measure the East side, and
This was more Northward than the City Hauran, but the countrey Auranitis, for ought I know might reach to Damascus, or near it, and so this more particularly direct the measuring: begin at Damascus, draw the line through Auranitis, and so on Southerly to Gilead.
A famous mountain about fifty miles in length from South to North where joins Mount Libanus at the East end of it, and hath many particular names in particular places, and seems to end his Souththern progress at the Rock Arnon.
From the out-side of the land of Israel, which lay beyond Iordan.
Thence to the East Sea, or Dead Sea, which lay on the East of Ierusalem. Thus a line drawn from Damascus through Auranitis, Gilead, the land of Israel beyond Iordan, to the East Sea, made the Eastern Frontier.
