Language

tsal.mon denotes a named mountain in the biblical settings represented by Judges 9:48 and Psalm 68:15.

The term is used as a proper name for a mountain: in Judges 9:48 it is the mountain Abimelech ascends, while Psalm 68:15 places the form within a mountain description whose precise contribution is not isolated by the translation.

Senses in use

  1. A named mountain · dominant

    Both occurrences are tagged Noun · Proper. In Judges 9:48 the APB renders Abimelech as going up "Mount Zalmon" before cutting a branch; in Psalm 68:15 the form occurs in a verse describing the mountain of Bashan, though the translation does not explicitly reproduce the name.

In the Anselm Project Bible: In Judges 9:48 the APB explicitly presents "Mount Zalmon." In Psalm 68:15 it renders the verse with repeated references to the mountain of Bashan, so the term's individual English rendering is not clear from the whole-verse translation.
