Taborbjerget
Beskrivelse
Tabor — en højde. (1.) Nu Jebel et-Tur, et kegleformet fremtrædende bjerg, 11 mil vest for Galilæas Sø. Det er omkring 1.843 fod højt. Udsigten fra toppen siges at være usædvanligt omfattende og storslået. Dette er omtalt i [Sl 89:12 ]; [Jer 46:18 ]. Det var her, Barak slog lejr før slaget med Sisera (se der) [Dom 4:6 –14]. Der er en gammel tradition, som dog er ubegrundet, at det var stedet for vor Herres forklarelse. (Se HERMON.) “Tabor's fremtrædende og isolerede position, der står på grænsen mellem de nordlige og sydlige stammer, mellem bjergene og den centrale slette, gjorde det til et bemærkelsesværdigt sted i alle tidsaldre og førte tydeligvis salmisten til at forbinde det med Hermon, den ene symbolsk for syd, den anden for nord.” Der er nogle, der stadig mener, at dette var stedet for forklarelsen (se der).

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).
