AMORITES, HILL COUNTRY (MOUNT*) OF THE

Central mountainous region between the plains of Philistia, Sharon, and Phoenicia on the west and the valley of the Jordan on the east. While the kjv uses “mount,” most modern translations use “hill country” because the phrase does not denote a single mountain but the range running north and south through Judah and Ephraim (Dt 1:7, 19-20).
