Edits re Mount Tabor[edit]

Article says that Mount Tabor "is in the middle of a densely populated area." That's not true, but even if it were true of present-day Mount Tabor, it would be irrelevant to this article because what matters is what the reality was two thousand years ago. I will delete this clause and the later related sentence "The story suggests an unpopulated area." Article also says "The town of Nain is on top of it." That is not true (see Nein#Location). I will delete this sentence. Wideangle (talk) 22:35, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

re the Mount Hermon theory, the following comment constrain Jesus' distance from Jerusalem based on the immanent celebration of Sukkot.

"(Note* - However, it is important to note that this location was extremely far from Jerusalem, and Yeshua & his Disciples would have been in Jerusalem for the Feast of Sukkot (Tabernacles), as it is one of three Pilgrimage feasts set forth in Leviticus 23, thereby making Mt. Hermon an unlikely reality for the place of Transfiguration)"

Where is it claimed that the Transfiguration took place close to Sukkot? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.203.157.35 (talk) 22:22, 9 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merge?[edit]

This article seems pretty pointless as a standalone. Shouldn't it be merged back into the main article? In ictu oculi (talk) 02:42, 2 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed, the issue is already covered reasonably well there. I have just deleted a whole section about the Transfiguration that was part of this article - if the article is to be any use at all, then rather than poorly recover the same ground as the original it has to concentrate on the location, and not the Transfiguration. Would have merged, but the section here was unsourced apart from Bible references.Matruman (talk) 14:16, 2 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Mt Hermon: fallen angels BS[edit]

Removed material from art., placed here in case smb. finds a reason & a way to redeem it.

No connection to the topic.
There is no mountain in Genesis 6.
Unsourced.

The fallen angels, told of in the Book of Enoch, landed on this mountain^{[dubious – discuss]} for the purpose of polluting God's creation through the creation of giants, "mighty men of old, men of renown" (Genesis 6).^{[citation needed]} Arminden (talk) 16:24, 15 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
