The meaning of Hill in the Bible
(From Easton's Bible Dictionary)

  • Heb. gib'eah, a curved or rounded hill, such as are common to Palestine (Psalms 65:12; 72:3; 114:4,6).

  • Heb. har, properly a mountain range rather than an individual eminence (Exodus 24:4,12,13,18; Numbers 14:40,44,45). In Deuteronomy 1:7, Joshua 9:1; 10:40; 11:16, it denotes the elevated district of Judah, Benjamin, and Ephraim, which forms the watershed between the Mediterranean and the Dead Sea.

  • Heb. ma'aleh in I Samuel 9:11. Authorized Version "hill" is correctly rendered in the Revised Version "ascent."

  • In Luke 9:37 the "hill" is the Mount of Transfiguration.
