Hills.

From the Hebrew Gibeah, meaning a curved round hill. But our translators have also employed the same English word for the very different term har, which has a much more extended sense than gibeah, meaning a whole district. For instance, in

Ex 24:4

the "hill" is the same which is elsewhere in the same chapter, vs.

Ex 24:12-13,18

etc., and book consistently and accurately rendered "mount" and "mountain." The "country of the hills," in

De 1:7; Jos 9:1; 10:40; 11:16

is the elevated district of Judah, Benjamin and Ephraim, which is correctly called "the mountain" in the earliest descriptions of Palestine,

Nu 13:29

and in many subsequent passages.
