at Hor (Mountain)

Rootהר (h-r)
Core Meaningsmountain, hill, elevation, high place
Semantic RangeA specific mountain peak; a geographic landmark; by extension, a boundary marker or significant elevated site.
Conceptual SignificanceMount Hor is notably the place where Aaron died (Numbers 20), marking a transitional moment in Israel’s wilderness journey. As a named mountain, it underscores the theological symbolism of mountains as places of encounter, transition, and covenantal milestones.
Morphological NotesProper noun (masculine singular) with prefixed preposition בְּ (“at/in”). Strong’s H2023. Occurs as a place name designating specific mountains (e.g., in Edom and near Lebanon).
Rendering RationaleThe form consists of the preposition בְּ (“at/in”) prefixed to the proper noun הֹר (Hor). The name derives from the root הר (“mountain”), so the rendering preserves the geographic sense by retaining “Mountain” alongside the proper name, while accurately reflecting the singular proper noun with prefixed preposition.
