It is mentioned in the context of geographical descriptions and territorial boundaries. Context: Shenir, or Senir, is a name used in the Old Testament to describe a portion of the Hermon mountain range. In Deuteronomy 3:9, it is noted that the Sidonians call Hermon "Sirion," while the Amorites refer to it as "Senir." This indicates the cultural and linguistic diversity in the region, as different groups had their own names for the same geographical feature. In Ezekiel 27:5, Shenir is mentioned in the context of trade, highlighting its significance in the ancient world. The mountain's strategic location made it a notable landmark and a point of reference for territorial boundaries. The dual naming of the mountain reflects the historical interactions between the Israelites and neighboring peoples.
