<p> (Heb. She'pher, שֶׁפֶר '', | <p> (Heb. She'pher, שֶׁפֶר '', Brightness,'' as in Genesis 49:21; always occurring "in pause" ''Sha'' '''Pher, שָׁפֶר'' ; Sept. Σαφάρ v.r. Σαρσαφάρ )'','' the name of a mountain at which the Israelites encamped during their sentence of extermination in the desert; situated between [[Kehelathah]] and [[Haradah]] ( Numbers 33:23-24). Hitzig (''Philist.'' p. 172) regards it as identical with Mount [[Halak]] ( Joshua 11:16); but the latter appears to have lain farther northeast. It is, perhaps, the present ''Araif En-Nakah,'' about in the middle of the upper portion of the plateau Et-Tih. (See [[Exode]]). For a different identification, (See [[Wanderings In The Wilderness]]). </p> | ||
