Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The Greek equivalent for Tabor is not directly listed in Strong's Concordance, as the name is primarily a Hebrew term. However, in the New Testament, the Transfiguration event is associated with a "high mountain" (Matthew 17:1, Mark 9:2, Luke 9:28), which tradition links to Mount Tabor, though the specific Greek term for Tabor is not used. Usage: Tabor is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a significant geographical location, specifically a mountain in the region of Galilee. It is mentioned in various contexts, often highlighting its strategic and symbolic importance. Context: • Geographical Significance: Mount Tabor is located in the Lower Galilee region of northern Israel, rising to a height of approximately 1,886 feet (575 meters) above sea level. It is a distinct, rounded hill that stands out in the Jezreel Valley, making it a notable landmark. • Biblical References: Tabor is mentioned in several passages in the Hebrew Bible. In Judges 4:6, it is the site where Deborah and Barak gathered the Israelite forces to confront Sisera's army. The mountain is also referenced in Psalm 89:12, where it is celebrated as part of God's creation: "The north and the south You created; Tabor and Hermon sing for joy at Your name." • Historical and Cultural Context: In addition to its biblical significance, Mount Tabor has been a site of historical and religious importance throughout the centuries. It is traditionally identified as the site of the Transfiguration of Jesus, although this event is not directly mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. • Symbolism: Tabor often symbolizes strength and beauty due to its prominent and majestic appearance. Its mention alongside other significant mountains like Hermon underscores its importance in the biblical landscape.
