[1] : Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
hermon
   a peak, the eastern prolongation of the anti-lebanon range,
   reaching to the height of about 9,200 feet above the
   mediterranean. it marks the north boundary of palestine deut.
   3:8, 4:48; josh. 11:3, 17; 13:11; 12:1, and is seen from a
   great distance. it is about 40 miles north of the sea of
   galilee. it is called "the hermonites" ps. 42:6 because it has
   more than one summit. the sidonians called it sirion, and the
   amorites shenir deut. 3:9; cant. 4:8. it is also called
   baal-hermon judg. 3:3; 1 chr. 5:23 and sion deut. 4:48.
   there is every probability that one of its three summits was the
   scene of the transfiguration q.v.. the "dew of hermon" is
   referred to ps. 89: 12. its modern name is jebel-esh-sheikh,
   "the chief mountain." it is one of the most conspicuous
   mountains in palestine or syria. "in whatever part of palestine
   the israelite turned his eye northward, hermon was there,
   terminating the view. from the plain along the coast, from the
   jordan valley, from the heights of moab and gilead, from the
   plateau of bashan, the pale, blue, snow-capped cone forms the
   one feature in the northern horizon."
   
     our lord and his disciples climbed this "high mountain apart"
   one day, and remained on its summit all night, "weary after
   their long and toilsome ascent." during the night "he was
   transfigured before them; and his face did shine as the sun."
   the next day they descended to caesarea philippi.
