Deuteronomy 3:8-9

3:8 So at that time we took the land of the two Amorite kings in the Transjordan from Wadi Arnon to Mount Hermon ¹  3:9 (the Sidonians ²  call Hermon Sirion ³  and the Amorites call it Senir), ⁴ 

Deuteronomy 4:48

4:48 Their territory extended ⁵  from Aroer at the edge of the Arnon valley as far as Mount Siyon ⁶  – that is, Hermon –

Joshua 13:11

13:11 Their territory also included ⁷  Gilead, Geshurite and Maacathite territory, all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salecah –

¹ sn Mount Hermon. This is the famous peak at the southern end of the Anti-Lebanon mountain range known today as Jebel es-Sheik.

² sn Sidonians were Phoenician inhabitants of the city of Sidon (now in Lebanon), about 47 mi (75 km) north of Mount Carmel.

³ sn Sirion. This name is attested in the Ugaritic texts as sryn. See UT 495.

⁴ sn Senir. Probably this was actually one of the peaks of Hermon and not the main mountain (Song of Songs 4:8; 1 Chr 5:23). It is mentioned in a royal inscription of Shalmaneser III of Assyria (saniru; see ANET 280).

⁵ tn The words “their territory extended” are supplied in the translation for stylistic reasons. In the Hebrew text vv. 47-49 are all one sentence, but for the sake of English style and readability the translation divides the text into two sentences.

⁶ sn Mount Siyon (the Hebrew name is שִׂיאֹן [si’on], not to be confused with Zion [צִיּוֹן, tsiyyon]) is another name for Mount Hermon, also called Sirion and Senir (cf. Deut 3:9).

⁷ tn The words “their territory also included” are supplied in the translation for clarification.
