Hor (Ileb. id. ^in or iH ; Sept."Qp), the name of two eminent moimtains ("iHn "h, i. e. " Hor the moun- tain," remarkable as the onh^ case in which the name comes first; Sept. "Qp ro lipocVulg. Mons Hor'). The word Hor is regarded bj' the lexicographers as an ar- chaic form oi liar, the usual Heb. term for "mountain" Gesen. Thes. p. 391 h; Furst, Handivb. s. v.), so that the meaning of the name is simpl}' " the mountain of momi- tains," as the Sept. have it in one case (see below. No. 2) TO opog TO opof ; Yulg. mons altissimus ; and Jerome (£;>. ad Fabiolam') non in monte simpliciter sed in montis nwn- te. See Mouxtain.
1. An eminent mountain of Arsibia Pctrwa, on the confines of Idumasa, and forming part of the mountain chain of Seir or Edom. It is first mentioned in Scripture in comiection with the circumstances recorded in Numb.
XX, 22-29. It was " on the boundary line" (Numb, xx, 23) or '"at the edge" (xxxiii, 37) of the land of Edom. It was the next halting-place of the people after Kadesh (xx, 22 ; xxxiii, 37), and they quitted it for Zalmonah (xxxiii, 41), in the road to the Ked Sea (xxi, 4). It was during the encampment at Mt. Hor that Aaron was gathered to his fathers (Numb, xxxiii, 37-41). At the command of Jehovah, he, his brother, and his son as- cended the mountain, in the presence of the peo])le, '• iu the eyes of all the congregation." The garments, and M'ith the garments the office, of high-priest were taken from Aaron and put upon Eleazar, and Aaron died there in the top of the mountain. In the circumstances of the ascent of the height to die, and m the marked ex- clusion from the Promised Land, the end of the one brother resembled the end of the other ; but in the pres- ence of the two survivors, and of the gazing crowd be- low, there is a striking difference between this event and the solitary death of Moses. See ^\^\i:ox. The Israelites passed the mountain several times in going up and down the Arabah; and the station IMoscra (Deut, X, 6) must have been at the foot of the mount (Deut. xxxii, 50).
