Expositions from classic Bible commentators.
Jamieson, Fausset & Brown · Numbers 34:7
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," or "the high double mountain," which, from the situation, can mean nothing else than the mountain Amana (Sol 4:8), a member of the great Lebanon range (Jos 13:5).
