Numbers 34:9

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

And the border shall go on to Ziphron,.... Which in the Jerusalem Targum is called Zapherin; and Jerom says, that in his time this city was called Zephyrium, a town in Cilicia; but this seems to be at too great a distance:and the goings out of it shall be at Hazarenan; which was the utmost of the northern border, and so it is in Eze 47:17 and there called the border of Damascus: Reland takes it to be the same with Enhazor, a city in the tribe of Naphtali, Jos 19:37, the words only inverted:this shall be your northern border: from the Mediterranean sea to Hazarenan in Naphtali.
