HETHLON.—A place mentioned by Ezekiel (Eze_47:15; Eze_48:1) as situated on the ideal northern boundary of Israel. Furrer identifies it with the present Heiteta, N.E. of Tripoli; and von Kasteren and others favour ’Adlun, north of the mouth of the Kasimiyyeh.
W. M. Nesbit.
Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible
Edited by James Hastings, D.D. Published in 1909


On the northern border of the promised land (Eze_47:15; Eze_48:1). "The way of Hethlon" is the pass at the N. end of Lebanon from the Mediterranean coast to the plain of Hamath, i.e. the entrance of Hamath (Num_34:8).
Fausset's Bible Dictionary
By Andrew Robert Fausset, co-Author of Jamieson, Fausset and Brown's 1888.


Heth'lon. (hiding-place). The name of a place on the northern border of Palestine. Eze_47:15; Eze_48:1. In all probability, the "way of Hethlon", is the pass at the northern end of Lebanon, and is, thus, identical with "the entrance of Hamath", in Num_34:8 etc.
Smith's Bible Dictionary
By Dr. William Smith.Published in 1863


heth?lon (חתלון, ḥethlōn; Peshitta ḥethrōn): Name of a place associated with Zedad on the ideal northern boundary of Israel, as given in Eze_47:15 and Eze_48:1, but not named in Num_34:8, while the Septuagint evidently translated the text it had. In accordance with the opinion they hold as to the boundary line of Northern Israel, van Kasteren and Buhl seek to identify Hethlon with 'Adlun on the river Qasmiyeh. Much more in harmony with the line of the other border towns given is its identification with Heitala to the Northeast of Tripoli. The ?way of Hethlon? would then coincide with the Eleutherus valley, between Homs and the Mediterranean, through which the railway now runs, and to this identification the Septuagint seems to give testimony, indicating some path of ?descent? from the Biqa'a.

Hethlon
(Heb. Chethlon', חֶתְלֹן, wrappedup, i.e. a hiding-place; Vulg. Hethalon), a place the approach (דֶּרֶךְ, “way”) to which lay on the northern border of Palestine, between the Mediterranean and Zedad, in the direction of Hamath (Eze_47:15; Eze_48:1). In all probability the “way of Hethlon” is the pass at the (N. or S.) end of Lebanon, from the sea-coast of the Mediterranean to the great plain of Hamath, and is thus identical with “the entrance of Hamath” (q.v.)in Num_34:8, etc. See Porter, Five Years in Damascus, 2, 356.
