Commentary
4 notes on this verseFrom Mount Hor ye shall point out your border unto the entrance of Hamath,.... Antiochia, as Jarchi; or rather Epiphania, as Jerom (r); the former being described by Hemath the great, Amo 6:2, this entrance was a narrow pass leading from the land of Canaan to Syria, through the valley which lies between Lebanon and Antilibanus: and the goings forth of the border shall be to Zedad; the same boundary as here is given in Eze 47:15. (r) Comment. in Ezek. 47. 16.
This site's exposition
the coastline of the Great Sea
on Numbers 34:6-9
The Mount Hor of verse 7 is a different mountain from the one by Edom where Aaron died. Zedad and Hazar-enan return in Ezekiel 47:15-17, where the same northern line is drawn for a division of the land still to come.
This site's exposition
from Mount Hor to Lebo-hamath
John Gill describes the entrance of Hamath as a narrow pass from Canaan into Syria, between Lebanon and Antilebanon. The spies of Numbers 13:21 went toward Lebo-hamath, so the border reaches the northern limit of their search. Zedad returns in Ezekiel's border at 47:15-16.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)
The Hebrew words, however, Hor-ha-Hor, properly signify "the mountain of the mountain," or "the high double mountain," which, from the situation, can mean nothing else than the mountain Amana (So 4:8), a member of the great Lebanon range (Jos 13:5).
