Study note

Numbers 34:6–9

  • The natural western boundary of Canaan was the Mediterranean coast ("the Great Sea," 34:6). The northern boundary started at the Mediterranean and went east to Mount Hor. This was somewhere in the Lebanon mountain range (not the place of Aaron's death, 20:22–29).

  • Lebo-hamath: Compare 13:21; 1 Kings 8:65; Amos 6:14.
