Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root הָר (har), meaning "mountain."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew "Hor" as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament texts.

Usage: The term "Hor" is used in the context of a geographical location, specifically a mountain. It is notably mentioned in relation to the journey of the Israelites during the Exodus.

Context: • Mount Hor is a significant location in the biblical narrative, particularly in the journey of the Israelites from Egypt to the Promised Land. It is most famously known as the place where Aaron, the brother of Moses and the first high priest of Israel, died and was buried. The mountain is described as being on the border of the land of Edom.
• In the Book of Numbers, Mount Hor is mentioned in the context of the Israelites' wanderings in the wilderness. Numbers 20:22-29 details the ascent of Moses, Aaron, and Aaron's son Eleazar to the mountain, where Aaron is stripped of his priestly garments, which are then given to Eleazar. Aaron dies on Mount Hor, and the Israelites mourn for him for thirty days.
• The exact location of Mount Hor is a subject of debate among scholars, but it is traditionally identified with Jebel Harun near Petra in modern-day Jordan.
• Another mention of a "Hor" is found in Numbers 34:7-8, referring to a different location, possibly a mountain or a range marking the northern boundary of the land of Canaan.
