Mount of the Valley
Mount Of The Valley
( ; Sept. v.r. ; Vulg. Mons contnallis), a district on the east of Jordan, within the territory allotted to Reuben (Jos 13:19), containing a number of towns, such as Heshbon, Dibon, etc. The valley” in question appears to have been the Ghor, or that of the Jordan (Jos 13:27); and hence the “mount” indicated was doubtless the hilly region immediately adjoining the northern end of the Dead Sea, where the towns mentioned were situated.

Mount of the Valley
Zereth-shahar is said to be situated in or on the mount of the valley ( , behar haemek Jos 13:19). Cheyne (Encyclopaedia Biblica, s.v.) says i.e. on one of the mountains East of the Jordan valley (compare Jos 13:27), and not impossibly on that described at length in BJ, VII, vi, 1-3. To the Northwest of this mountain is Wady es-Sara, wherein there may be a reminiscence of Zereth-shahar. There is no certainty.
