Overview
Hethlon is mentioned in Ezekiel's prophetic vision as part of the northern boundary of the restored land of Israel. The exact location remains uncertain, though it appears to reference a route or pass in the north. This geographical marker appears in Ezekiel's detailed description of how the promised land will be divided among the tribes in the future kingdom.
