Reference: Kir-hareseth

Hastings

A place of great strength and importance in Moab; generally regarded as identical with Kir of Moab (wh. see). The Septuagint and Vulgate take these names as phrases, and translate them on some more or less fanciful Hebrew etymology. The Targum on Isaiah renders Kerak tokpehon, which suggests that haraseth may be connected with the Assyrian hurshu, 'a cliff,' etc., but the word may be Moabite or Canaanite, and seems to occur in 'Harosheth of the Gentiles' (Jg 4:2,13,16). The modern Kasr harasha, 35 minutes' walk above Dera'a, preserves a similar title.
