Mount of Precipice / Mount Tabor


“They got up, drove him out of the town, and took him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw him down the cliff.” Luke 4:29

The picture above is Nazareth from the Mount of Precipice, the hill discussed in Luke 4:29. Below is a picture of Mount Tabor, which is believed to be the mount of Jesus' transfiguration.

“After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. There he was transfigured before them.” Matthew 17:1-2

Old Testament Reference:
Tabor and more specifically Mount Tabor, are referenced several times throughout the O.T., most notably as the site where Barak and Deborah were gathered with ten thousand men in Judges 4.

“Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.” Psalms 89:12
