Strong's Lexicon Chermon: Hermon Original Word: חֶרְמוֹן Word Origin: Derived from the root חָרַם (charam), meaning "to devote" or "to consecrate." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for Hermon, the concept of mountains and their symbolic significance can be found in Greek entries such as G3735 (ὄρος, oros), meaning "mountain." Usage: Hermon is a significant mountain or mountain range in the northern part of ancient Israel, often associated with the northern boundary of the Promised Land. It is known for its height and snow-capped peaks, which provide a source of water for the region. In the Bible, Mount Hermon is often mentioned in the context of its geographical and symbolic significance. Cultural and Historical Background: Mount Hermon is located at the intersection of modern-day Syria, Lebanon, and Israel. It is the highest point in the region, reaching over 9,000 feet above sea level. In ancient times, it was considered a sacred site by various cultures, including the Canaanites, who associated it with their deities. The mountain's snowmelt contributes to the Jordan River, making it a vital water source for the surrounding areas.
