baal-hermon judg. 3:3; 1 chr. 5:23 and sion deut. 4:48.

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.
