Hill

1

Heb. gib’eah, a curved or rounded hill, such as are common to Palestine (Ps 65:12; 72:3; 114:4, 6).

2

Heb. har, properly a mountain range rather than an individual eminence (Exod 24:4, 12, 13, 18; Num 14:40, 44, 45). In Deut 1:7, Josh 9:1; 10:40; 11:16, it denotes the elevated district of Judah, Benjamin, and Ephraim, which forms the watershed between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea.

3

Heb. ma’aleh in 1 Sam 9:11. Authorized Version “hill” is correctly rendered in the Revised Version “ascent.”

4

In Luke 9:37 the “hill” is the Mount of Transfiguration.
