HOR, MOUNT (nirt)

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 687 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HIG-HOR
HOR, MOUNT (nirt) , the
scene
  in the Bible of Aaron's death, situated " in the edge of the
land
  of Edom " (Num. xxxiii. 37). Since the time of Josephus it has been identified with the Jebel Nebi Ijarun ("
Mountain
  of the Prophet Aaron "), a twin-peaked
mountain
  4780 ft. above the sea-level (6072 ft. above the Dead Sea) in the Edomite Mountains on the
east
  side of the Jordan-Arabah valley. On the summit is a shrine said to cover the grave of Aaron. Some
modern
  investigators dissent from this identification: H. Clay
Trumbull
  prefers the Jebel Madara, a
peak
  north-west of `Ain Kadis. Another
Mount
  Hor is mentioned in Num. xxxiv. 7, 8, as on the northern boundary of the prospective conquests of the Israelites. It is perhaps to be identified with Hermon. It has been doubtfully suggested that for Floc we should here read Hadrach, the name of a northern country near Damascus, mentioned only once in the Bible (Zech. ix. I). (R. A. S. M.)
