Senir: =Shenir, the name given to Hermon by the Amorites
(Deuteronomy 3:9) It means
"coat of mail" or "breastplate," and is equivalent to "Sirion." Some
interpret the word as meaning "the prominent" or "the snowy
mountain." It is properly the name of the central of the three
summits of Hermon (q.v.).
