Hazer-hatticon; place name meaning 'the middle court/village'
This place name appears only in Ezekiel 47:16, describing the northern boundary of the restored land. It means 'the middle court' or 'middle village' and is located near the border of Hauran (the region east of the Sea of Galilee). Some scholars suggest emending the text, but the name fits the pattern of Hazer compounds denoting settlements or enclosures. The site remains unidentified archaeologically.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Ezekiel 47:16 mentions this boundary marker twice in describing the ideal borders of the land. The term consists of חָצֵר (court, village) + הַתִּיכוֹן (the middle). Spanish 'la del medio' (the middle one) and German 'der mittlere Hof' (the middle court) parse the components. The reference to Hauran's border suggests a location in southern Syria. 2×
