giv.ah denotes a hill or hills, including elevated terrain used as a landmark, setting, or named location.

The term denotes hills as features of the landscape, whether a single elevation or hills in the plural. The verses place such terrain beside mountains, valleys, trees, worship sites, military positions, and local designations; a proper-noun occurrence also identifies Gibeath-elohim as a destination.

1. Hill or elevated terrain · dominant

   The noun identifies an elevated place in varied settings: in Exodus 17:9 the APB renders Moses standing “on the top of the hill,” while Exodus 17:10 describes Moses, Aaron, and Hur going up to that height. In Ezekiel 34:6 the flock wanders over mountains and every high hill, and Isaiah 40:12 pairs hills with mountains as features weighed in a balance. The same terrain can provide a setting for offerings, as in Deuteronomy 12:2, or for a named destination, as in 1 Samuel 10:10.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the term as “hill” or “hills,” sometimes with “high” or “lofty” in the surrounding phrase. It also uses location-style renderings such as “Gibeath-elohim”; These English forms should be read as presentations of the verse context rather than fixed equivalents.
