Hill (1.) Heb. gib'eah, a curved or rounded hill, such as are common to Palestine (Psalms 65:12; Psalms 1:72; Psalms 1:114, Psalms 1:114).

(2.) Heb. har, properly a mountain range rather than an individual eminence (Exodus 24:4, Exodus 1:24, Exodus 1:24, Exodus 1:24; Numbers 14:40, Numbers 1:14, Numbers 1:14). In Deuteronomy 1:7, Joshua 9:1; Joshua 1:10; Joshua 1:11, it denotes the elevated district of Judah, Benjamin, and Ephraim, which forms the watershed between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea.

(3.) Heb. ma'aleh in 1 Samuel 9:11. Authorized Version "hill" is correctly rendered in the Revised Version "ascent."

(4.) In Luke 9:37 the "hill" is the Mount of Transfiguration.
