Good News Translation has to the oak in Zaanannim, while most others have “from the oak” (which is what the Hebrew appears to mean; see Revised Standard Version). As in 15.11, Good News Translation has Jamnia (Revised Standard Version “Jabneel”).

In the translation of this verse it may be useful to indicate that the border referred to is the northern border: “The northern border of its territory went from the town of Heleph to the oak near the town of Zaanannim…”
