Supported# הֹר (Hor): A Biblical Geographic Reference The Hebrew term הֹר (hor) refers to Mount Hor, a specific geographical location mentioned in the biblical text. Based on the lexical data, this word appears exactly twice in the Bible, indicating it designates a particular mountain rather than serving as a common noun for mountains in general. The word functions as a proper noun—a specific place name rather than a descriptive term. The limited frequency of this reference (only 2 occurrences) suggests that Mount Hor held significance within a particular biblical narrative or context, though the specific theological or historical importance cannot be determined from the lexical data alone. The term's exclusive use as a proper noun demonstrates how Hebrew could distinguish between generic geographical features and named locations of particular note.
