Hethlon was a biblical city on the boundary of Palestine. It has two references in the Bible, both of which are in the Book of Ezekiel.[1] It is described as a fearful dwelling.[2][3] It has been identified as modern Heitela in Syria,[4] although theologian Tremper Longman claimed recently that its exact location is still unknown.[5]
