 Mount
    Palestine is a hilly country (Deut. 3:25; 11:11; Ezek. 34:13).
    West of Jordan the mountains stretch from Lebanon far down into
    Galilee, terminating in Carmel. The isolated peak of Tabor rises
    from the elevated plain of Esdraelon, which, in the south, is
    shut in by hills spreading over the greater part of Samaria. The
    mountains of Western and Middle Palestine do not extend to the
    sea, but gently slope into plains, and toward the Jordan fall
    down into the Ghor.
      East of the Jordan the Anti-Lebanon, stretching south,
    terminates in the hilly district called Jebel Heish, which
    reaches down to the Sea of Gennesareth. South of the river
    Hieromax there is again a succession of hills, which are
    traversed by wadies running toward the Jordan. These gradually
    descend to a level at the river Arnon, which was the boundary of
    the ancient trans-Jordanic territory toward the south.
      The composition of the Palestinian hills is limestone, with
    occasional strata of chalk, and hence the numerous caves, some
    of large extent, found there.
