Mountains and mountainous heights · dominant
The construct noun forms identify mountain locations or heights in clauses about travel, territory, animals, and named places: in Numbers 23:7 the APB renders "from the mountains of the East," and in Deuteronomy 8:9 it speaks of hills from which copper is dug. In Psalm 133:3 and Song of Songs 4:8, the APB places the term in descriptions of the mountains of Zion and "the mountains of leopards"; Habakkuk 3:6 describes eternal mountains being scattered.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the term with "mountains," while Deuteronomy 8:9 and Habakkuk 3:6 also use "hills" in their wider clauses. These English variations do not establish separate lexical senses.
