a mountain belonging to Anti-Libanus, and forming the northern boundary of the country conquered by the Hebrews from the Amorites. It is the Sirion of the Sidonians, the Shenir of the Amorites, the Jebel Es-skeikh or Old Man's Mountain of the present day. It is considered the highest of the Lebanon range, and the snow is perpetual, at least in the ravines, though sometimes even in midsummer the upper part is quite covered with snow. Some have imagined, from certain passages in Scripture, that there must have been another Hermon near Tabor, but this is improbable.
