Strong's Lexicon Hor: Hor Original Word: הֹר Word Origin: Derived from a root word meaning "mountain" or "hill." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Hor" as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew geography and narrative.

Usage: In the Hebrew Bible, "Hor" refers to a specific mountain, most notably associated with the death of Aaron, the brother of Moses. It is a significant geographical location in the narrative of the Israelites' wilderness wanderings. Cultural and Historical Background: Mount Hor is traditionally identified with a mountain in the region of Edom, near the border of modern-day Jordan. It holds cultural and religious significance as the place where Aaron, the first high priest of Israel, died and was buried. This event marks a pivotal moment in the Israelites' journey to the Promised Land, symbolizing the transition of priestly leadership from Aaron to his son Eleazar.
