Contextual Overview

¹ Next we set out on the route to Bashan, but King Og of Bashan and his whole army came out to meet us in battle at Edrei. ² The Lord , however, said to me, "Don't be afraid of him because I have already given him, his whole army, and his land to you. You will do to him exactly what you did to King Sihon of the Amorites who lived in Heshbon." ³ So the Lord our God did indeed give over to us King Og of Bashan and his whole army and we struck them down until not a single survivor was left. ⁴ We captured all his cities at that time—there was not a town we did not take from them—sixty cities, all the region of Argob, the dominion of Og in Bashan. ⁵ All of these cities were fortified by high walls, gates, and locking bars; in addition there were a great many open villages. ⁶ We put all of these under divine judgment just as we had done to King Sihon of Heshbon—every occupied city, including women and children. ⁷ But all the livestock and plunder from the cities we kept for ourselves. ⁸ So at that time we took the land of the two Amorite kings in the Transjordan from Wadi Arnon to Mount Hermon ⁹ (the Sidonians call Hermon Sirion and the Amorites call it Senir), ¹⁰ all the cities of the plateau, all of Gilead and Bashan as far as Salecah and Edrei, cities of the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

Bible Verse Review

Hermon: Mount Hermon is the south-eastern branch of Lebanon, beyond Jordan. The Chaldee Targumist, who places it at Cesarea and Samaritan interpreter call it toor talga, "the mountain of snow," because of its being always covered with snow; and Jerome informs us, that it lies higher than Paneas or Cזsarea Philippi, and that in the summer time snow used to be carried from thence to Tyre. It is now call El Heish, and is comprised in the district of Kanneytra. Deuteronomy 4:48, Deuteronomy 4:49, Psalms 29:6, Psalms 89:12, Psalms 133:3, Song of Solomon 4:8

Shenir: 1 Chronicles 5:23, Ezekiel 27:5, Senir

Reciprocal: Joshua 12:1 - from the Joshua 12:5 - Hermon Judges 3:3 - in mount Psalms 42:6 - Hermonites

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Which Hermon the Sidonians call Sirion,.... Which name it has in Psalms 29:6 a name the inhabitants of Sidon gave it, but for what reason it is not easy to say; however, that it was well known to Tyre and Sidon, appears from snow in summer time being brought to the former, as will be hereafter observed:

and the Amorites call it Shenir; in whose possession it was last. Bochart k thinks it had its name from the multitude of wild cats in it, Shunar in the Chaldee tongue being the name of that creature; but Jarchi says Shenir in the Canaanitish language signifies "snow"; so, in the Targums of Onkelos and Jonathan, it is called the mountain of snow; and the Hebrew who read to Jerom, and taught him, affirmed to him that this mountain hung over Paneas, from whence snow in summer time was brought to Tyre for pleasure l, and the same is confirmed by Abulfeda m. There is said to be upon the top of it a famous temple, which is used for worship by the Heathens, over against Paneas and Lebanon n; and it is highly probable there was one even at this time, when it was possessed by the Amorites, since it is called Mount Baalhermon, Judges 3:3, from the worship of Baal, or some other idol upon it, as it should seem. Besides these, it had another name, Mount Sion, Deuteronomy 4:48 but to be distinguished from Mount Zion near Jerusalem. The names of it in this place are very differently interpreted by Hillerus o; though he thinks it had them all on account of the snow on it, which was as a net all over it; for Hermon, he observes, signifies a net, a dragnet, and Shenir an apron, and Sirion a coat of mail, all from the covering of this mount with snow.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Hermon, the southern and culminating point of the range of Lebanon, was also the religious center of primaeval Syria. Its Baal sanctuaries not only existed but gave it a name before the Exodus. Hence, the careful specification of the various names by which the mountain was known. The Sidonian name of it might easily have become known to Moses through the constant traffic which had gone on from the most ancient times between Sidon and Egypt.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Deuteronomy 3:9. Hermon the Sidonians call - Shenir — I suppose this verse to have been a marginal remark, which afterwards got incorporated with the text, or an addition by Joshua or Ezra.
