Berg Tabor
Beskrywing
Tabor — 'n hoogte. (1.) Nou Jebel et-Tur, 'n keëlvormige prominente berg, 11 myl wes van die See van Galilea. Dit is ongeveer 1,843 voet hoog. Die uitsig vanaf die top daarvan word gesê om buitengewoon wyd en groots te wees. Hierna word verwys in [Ps 89:12 ]; [Jer 46:18 ]. Dit was hier waar Barak voor die geveg met Sisera (sien q.v.) laer opgeslaan het [Rig 4:6 –14]. Daar is 'n ou tradisie, wat egter ongegrond is, dat dit die toneel van die verheerliking van ons Here was. (Sien HERMON.) “Die prominensie en isolasie van Tabor, wat, soos dit staan, op die grensgebied tussen die noordelike en suidelike stamme, tussen die berge en die sentrale vlakte, het dit 'n plek van noemenswaardigheid in alle eeue gemaak, en het klaarblyklik die psalmdigter gelei om dit met Hermon te assosieer, die een simbolies van die suide, die ander van die noorde.” Daar is sommige wat steeds glo dat dit die toneel van die verheerliking was (sien q.v.).

Tabor
a height.
(1.) Now Jebel et-Tur, a cone-like prominent mountain, 11 miles west of the Sea of Galilee. It is about 1,843 feet high. The view from the summit of it is said to be singularly extensive and grand. This is alluded to in (Ps 89:12 ; Jer 46:18 ). It was here that Barak encamped before the battle with Sisera (q.v.) (Judg 4:6-14). There is an old tradition, which, however, is unfounded, that it was the scene of the transfiguration of our Lord. (See HERMON)
"The prominence and isolation of Tabor, standing, as it does, on the border-land between the northern and southern tribes, between the mountains and the central plain, made it a place of note in all ages, and evidently led the psalmist to associate it with Hermon, the one emblematic of the south, the other of the north." There are some who still hold that this was the scene of the transfiguration (q.v.).
(2.) A town of Zebulum (1Chr 6:77).
(3.) The "plain of Tabor" (1Sam 10:3 ) should be, as in the Revised Version, "the oak of Tabor." This was probably the Allon-bachuth of (Gen 35:8 ).
