  1. Place named in boundary descriptions · dominant

    In Ezekiel 47:16, the form is tagged Noun · Proper and occurs in the clause locating Hazer-hatticon toward its border; the APB renders the place name as “Hauran.” In Ezekiel 47:18, the same proper-name use marks one side of the eastern boundary “from between Hauran and Damascus.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the term as “Hauran” in both verses, within geographic boundary statements. Its wording confirms the place-name setting rather than supplying a fuller lexical distinction.
