or Mount of Olives, (anc. geog.), a mount which lay a little without Jerusalem, on the east side (Zechar. xiv.) separated from it by a deep valley called Kedron, (Joephus), or the valley of Jehoshaphat; distant about eight furlongs or a mile from Jerusalem, (Luke); five furlongs, (Joephus); which may be understood of the nearer part of the mount.
