Concise Bible Dictionary
:
The ordinary word for this is
har
, which is employed both for the mountain
ranges
, some of which run through
Israel
from
north
to
south
, and also for the higher mountains that rise upon those ranges or on the plains. Thus in
2 Chronicles 13:4
4
And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and said, Hear me, thou Jeroboam, and all Israel; (2 Chronicles 13:4)
it says, “
Mount
Zemaraim
, which is in
mount
Ephraim
,” which means that mount Zemaraim was situated in the
hill
-country of Ephraim. Mount Ephraim does not refer to any particular mountain; but to the range of hills, or
hill country
in Ephraim, extending from
Bethel
to the plains of
Jezreel
. In like manner there are parts that can be called hill-country throughout all the land, as in
Joshua 13:6
6
All the inhabitants of the hill country from Lebanon unto Misrephoth-maim, and all the Sidonians, them will I drive out from before the children of Israel: only divide thou it by lot unto the Israelites for an inheritance, as I have commanded thee. (Joshua 13:6)
and
Luke 1:39,65
39
And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Juda; (Luke 1:39)
65
And fear came on all that dwelt round about them: and all these sayings were noised abroad throughout all the hill country of Judea. (Luke 1:65)
. Each of the mountains is considered under its own name.
