Shenir

Mount Hermon had more than one name. Moses notes that “the Sidonians call Sirion; and the Amorites call it Shenir.” The half tribe of Manasseh increased from Bashan “unto Baalhermon and Senir, and unto mount Hermon.” In the Song of Solomon the beloved is called down from “the top of Shenir and Hermon, from the lions’ dens.” Ezekiel mentions ship boards made of “fir trees of Senir.” So Shenir is a high, wild peak that also gave good timber. Song of Solomon 4:8 is the place to see it in a love poem.
