A mountain, 9,400 feet high, in the extreme northeast of the Holy Land, being the southern point of a range of hills called Anti-Libanus. It is visible not only from a great part of Galilee, but also from various places as far south as Jericho. The Hermonites (Ps. 42: 6) are the three peaks of Mount Hermon. Jewish poetry contains several allusions to this mountain (Ps. 89: 12; Ps. 133: 3; Song. 4: 8). It is probable that our Lord's transfiguration took place either on Hermon or on one of the adjacent heights (see Matt. 16: 13; Matt. 17: 1).
