Strong's Lexicon
harel: "Mountain of God"

Original Word: הַרְאֵל
Part of Speech: Noun Masculine
Transliteration: har'el
Pronunciation: har-ale'
Phonetic Spelling: (har-ale')
Definition: "Mountain of God"
Meaning: mount of God, the altar of burnt-offering

Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: הַר (har, meaning "mountain") and אֵל (el, meaning "God").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "harel," the concept of a divine mountain can be related to Greek terms such as ὄρος (oros, Strong's G3735), meaning "mountain," which is used in the New Testament to describe significant locations like the Mount of Transfiguration.

Usage: The term "harel" is used to denote a sacred or significant mountain associated with the presence or worship of God. It emphasizes the idea of a divine meeting place or a site of spiritual significance.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, mountains were often seen as places of divine encounter and revelation. They were considered closer to the heavens and thus suitable for worship and communication with God. The concept of a "Mountain of God" is prevalent in the Hebrew Bible, with Mount Sinai and Mount Zion being prominent examples. These locations were central to Israel's religious identity and history, serving as sites of covenant-making and divine revelation.
