It is known for its height and snow-capped peaks, which provide a source of water for the region. In the Bible, Mount Hermon is often mentioned in the context of its geographical and symbolic significance.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Mount Hermon is located at the intersection of modern-day Syria, Lebanon, and Israel. It is the highest point in the region, reaching over 9,000 feet above sea level. In ancient times, it was considered a sacred site by various cultures, including the Canaanites, who associated it with their deities. The mountain's snowmelt contributes to the Jordan River, making it a vital water source for the surrounding areas.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/2763.htm">charam</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"sacred (mountain)," a mountain in S.
