HOR, MOUNT, the scene of Aaron's death, according to the Bible, and since the time of Josephus, generally identified with Jabal Haron, about 4,500 ft., near Petra. A shrine on the summit is said to cover the grave of Aaron, and is an object of pilgrimage to the surrounding tribes, but it is obviously of comparatively modern construction. This identification is challenged by many, and other localities have been suggested, e.g., J. Madara, Hermon, etc.
See Numbers, xxxiii. 37 and xxxiv. 7, 8.
