Ang bundok ng Diyos ay bundok ng Bashan; bundok na may matatayog na taluktok ang bundok ng Bashan.
Aramaic Targum to Psalms
Mount Moriah, the place where the eternal forefathers worshiped before the LORD, was chosen for the building of the Temple; Mount Sinai for the giving of Torah, Mount Matnan, Mt. Tabor, and Carmel were disqualified; for them a humpnoteMatnan, also known as Butnin and Kutnan, is used to translate Bashan in every Targum. It refers to the area of Batanaea, the area northeast of the Kinneret. In this area was a very well-known city whose ruins are to this day a national park of Israel. This city was known as Gamla, it was one of the only cities in the north to fight against Vespasian, and it was built on a mountain that looks almost exactly like a camel's hump. There's a reason the city is named "the Camel" in Aramaic, and it's the shape of the hill it's based on. The Targum seems aware of the shape of this specific hill, and made a midrash about it to explain why the Mount of Bashan would be called the Mount of Humps! was made like Mount Matnan.Alternate TargumMount Moriah was chosen firstly in the worship of the eternal patriarchs before the LORD, and was chosen secondarily for building there the sanctuary-house; and Mount Sinai was pulled up from there and chosen thirdly for the Torah; Mount Buthnin was moved, taken far away; at Mount Tabor a miracle was performed for Barak and Deborah; at Mount Carmel miracles were performed for Elijah the prophet. And they were running, one against the other, and debating with each other. One said, “On me the Presence will dwell!” and the other would say, “On me the Presence will dwell!” And the Master of the Universe, who sharpens the proud and rebellious with the humble, struck them, and they were rendered inviable. A hump was made for them like Mount Buthnin.
