Ezek 6:14

6:14 Riblah. See text note. The exact location is uncertain, although the context seems to require a well-known place. The Hebrew letters for “d” and “r” look similar and were occasionally confused by scribes. Riblah is in northern Lebanon where Pharaoh Neco and Nebuchadnezzar based some of their operations (2 Kin. 23:33; 25:6) in the last years of Judah. Ezekiel’s audience would have understood the reference. From the wilderness to Riblah would mean from the southern to the northern boundaries of Judah and Israel.
