Hebrew gibeah, "a carved, rounded hill"; frequent in the Holy Land. Har, mistranslated "hill;" it means a" mountain range or district" (Ex 24:4,12-13,18; Nu 14:40,44-45). The "hill" in Jos 15:9, compare 8, is the Mount of Olives. "The hills," De 1:7; Jos 9:1, is the mountain district of Judah, Benjamin, and Ephraim (Nu 13:29). The "holy hill," "hill of Jehovah," etc., Ps 3:4; 24:3, is mount Zion. Carmel should be called the mount, not "a hill" (2Ki 1:9; 4:27; compare 1Ki 18:19). Maleh should be "ascent," not "hill" (1Sa 9:11, margin). In Lu 9:28,37, "the hill" (oros) is the mountain of transfiguration. In Lu 1:39 "the hill country" ought to be translated "the mountain country" of Judah.
