Mt. Tabor From the
Air
1.
A conspicuous mountain in
Galilee
, about
seven
miles
east
of
Nazareth
. It formed a boundary to
Issachar
and Zebulon. Its sides are well wooded, and on the summit is an irregular plain of about a
mile
in circuit, with ruins of fortifications. The height of it is 1,843 feet (Josh. 19:22; {vi 6606-6614}Judg. 4:6-14; Judg. 8:18; Psalm 89:12; Jer. 46:18; Hos. 5:1). It is now called
Jebel et Tor
, 32° 41' N, 35° 23' E.
Tradition
makes this the mount of
Transfiguration
; but it is more probable that some part of mount
Hermon
was chosen for the transfiguration. This has good moral associations (compare Psa. 133:3), and would be more private than Tabor.
2.
The “plain of Tabor” in 1 Samuel 10:3 should be read the “
oak
of Tabor” as in the RV.
3.
Levitical city in the tribe of
Zebulun
(1 Chron. 6:77). The list of Levitical cities in Joshua 21 does not contain this name. See
CHESULLOTH
