Shapher
Shapher
(Heb. She’pher, , brightness, as in Gen 49:21; always occurring in pause Sha’pher, ; Sept. v.r. ), the name of a mountain at which the Israelites encamped during their sentence of extermination in the desert; situated between Kehelathah and Haradah (Num 33:23-24). Hitzig (Philist. p. 172) regards it as identical with Mount Halak (Jos 11:16); but the latter appears to have lain farther northeast. It is, perhaps, the present Araif en-Nakah, about in the middle of the upper portion of the plateau Et-Tih. SEE EXODE. For a different identification, SEE WANDERINGS IN THE WILDERNESS.
