Hill Country of the Amorites

The hill country of the Amorites was a mountainous region in the central part of the land. It lay between the plains of Philistia, Sharon, and Phoenicia on the west and the Jordan Valley on the east.

While the King James Version uses “mount,” most modern translations use “hill country.” The phrase is not for a single mountain but identifies a range running north and south through Judah and Ephraim (Deuteronomy 1:7, 19–20).
