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.
