They are often depicted as places of encounter with God, sites of worship, and symbols of strength and stability. Geographical Significance: Hills are prominent features in the landscape of the biblical lands, particularly in regions such as Judea and Samaria. They often serve as natural fortifications and vantage points. For instance, Jerusalem is famously situated on a series of hills, including Mount Zion and the Mount of Olives, which play crucial roles in biblical events. Theological and Symbolic Importance: 1. Places of Divine Encounter: Hills are frequently depicted as locations where individuals encounter God. In <a href="/genesis/22-2.htm">Genesis 22:2</a>, God instructs Abraham to offer Isaac on one of the mountains in the region of Moriah, highlighting the hill as a place of testing and divine provision. Similarly, Moses receives the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai, a pivotal moment in Israel's covenant relationship with God. 2. Sites of Worship: Throughout the Old Testament, hills are often associated with worship, both true and false. The high places, or "bamot," were elevated sites where altars and shrines were erected. While some were dedicated to the worship of Yahweh, many became centers of idolatry, leading to prophetic condemnation (<a href="/1_kings/14-23.htm">1 Kings 14:23</a>; <a href="/2_kings/17-10.htm">2 Kings 17:10-11</a>). 3. Symbols of Strength and Stability: Hills are frequently used metaphorically to represent strength, stability, and protection. In <a href="/psalms/125-2.htm">Psalm 125:2</a> , it is written, "As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds His people both now and forevermore." This imagery conveys the enduring protection and presence of God with His people. 4. Eschatological Imagery: In prophetic literature, hills often symbolize the coming kingdom of God. <a href="/isaiah/2-2.htm">Isaiah 2:2</a> states, "In the last days, the mountain of the house of the LORD will be established as the chief of the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and all nations will stream to it." This vision portrays a future where God's rule is supreme and universally acknowledged. New Testament References: In the New Testament, hills continue to serve as significant settings for Jesus' ministry. The Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) is delivered on a hillside, emphasizing the hill as a place of teaching and revelation. Additionally, the Transfiguration occurs on a high mountain (<a href="/matthew/17.htm">Matthew 17:1-9</a>), underscoring the hill as a site of divine glory and revelation. Conclusion: Hills in the Bible are multifaceted in their significance, serving as places of divine encounter, worship, and symbolic representations of God's strength and protection. They are integral to the biblical landscape, both physically and theologically, reflecting the profound ways in which God interacts with His creation and His people.<a name="smi" id="smi"></a><div class="vheading2">Smith's Bible Dictionary</div>HillsFrom the Hebrew Gibeah, meaning a curved round hill. But our translators have also employed the same English word for the very different term har , which has a much more extended sense than gibeah , meaning a whole district.
