And their coast was from Heleph,.... That is, their northern coast, reaching from west to east, as appears by the ending of it at Jordan; the Alexandrian copy of the Greek version calls it Mlepeh, the Targum, Meheleph, and Jerom, Mealeb, which he calls the border of Naphtali; which, though to the north, cannot be expressly said what and where it was: from Allon to Zaanannim; or rather from the oak, or from the plain in Zaanannim (d); for it seems to be the same with the plain of Zanaaim, Jdg 4:11. and Adami, Nekeb; some make these to be but one city, and the latter only an epithet of the former; but the Talmudists (e) make them two, as we do, and call the first Damin, and the latter Ziadetha; but what and where either of them were exactly is not known; for Adami cannot be the same with Adam, Jos 3:16; as some think; for that was in Peraea, on the other side Jordan; See Gill on Jos 3:16, and Jabneel; Jabneel is different from that which was on the borders of Judah, Jos 15:11; and is called by the Jews (f) since Cepherjamah: unto Lakum; of which we nowhere else read: and the outgoings thereof were at Jordan; here the coast ended this way.
