Gunung Tabor
Penerangan
Tabor — sebuah ketinggian. (1.) Kini Jebel et-Tur, sebuah gunung yang menonjol seperti kon, 11 batu di barat Laut Galilea. Ia mempunyai ketinggian kira-kira 1,843 kaki. Pemandangan dari puncaknya dikatakan sangat luas dan megah. Ini disebutkan dalam [Maz 89:12 ]; [Yer 46:18 ]. Di sinilah Barak berkemah sebelum pertempuran dengan Sisera (lihat) [Hak 4:6 -14]. Terdapat tradisi lama, yang bagaimanapun, tidak berasas, bahawa ia adalah tempat transfigurasi Tuhan kita. (Lihat HERMON.) “Keunggulan dan keterasingan Tabor, berdiri, seperti yang berlaku, di perbatasan antara suku-suku utara dan selatan, antara gunung-gunung dan dataran tengah, menjadikannya tempat yang terkenal sepanjang zaman, dan jelas menyebabkan pemazmur mengaitkannya dengan Hermon, yang satu melambangkan selatan, yang lain utara.” Terdapat beberapa orang yang masih berpegang bahawa ini adalah tempat transfigurasi (lihat).

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).
