In the New Testament, it is used to describe geographical features that are smaller than mountains but still significant in the landscape. The term is often used metaphorically to describe obstacles or challenges that need to be overcome.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near East, hills and mounds were significant both geographically and symbolically. They often served as places of refuge, worship, or strategic military positions. In biblical times, hills were also associated with high places where altars and idols were sometimes erected, contrasting with the worship of Yahweh in designated holy sites.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>probably of foreign origin<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a hill<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>hill (1), hills (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 1015: βουνός</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">βουνός</span></span>, <span class="greek2">βουνοῦ</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span>, a Cyrenaic word according to <span class="abbreviation">Herodotus</span> 4, 199, which <span class="abbreviation">Eustathius</span> (831, 33) on Iliad 11, 710 says was used by <span class="abbreviation">Philemon</span> (No theta 1), a comic poet (of the <DATE_RANGE:299-200 B.C.><span class="date">3rd century B.C.</span>).
