And this shall be your north border: from the great sea ye shall point out for you mount Hor:
North border. The principal difficulty in understanding the description here arises from what our translators have called mount Hor. The Hebrew words, however, Hor-ha-Hor, properly signify 'the mountain of the mountain," the high double mountain,' which from the situation, can mean nothing else than the northern and highest summit of the Lebanon range. Dr. Keith thinks it refers to mount Casius ('Land of Israel)'; but his reasoning is unsatisfactory.
