mount Hor . Mount Hor was situated in Arabia Petrea , on the confines of Edom. It is described by Burckhardt , as being situated on the western side of a valley called Wady Mousa; in which are found the ruins of the ancient Petra , and which is two long days' journey north-east of Accaba . on the northern point of the Elanitic gulf of the Red sea in the Djebel Shera , or mount Seir , and on the east side of the Araba , the valley which forms the continuation of that of the Jordan. On the summit of the mountain is the tomb of Haroun , or Aaron , which is held in great veneration by the Arabs; which agrees with the testimonies of Josephus , Eusebius , and Jerome , all persons well acquainted with these countries , who agree in proving that the sepulchre of Aaron , in mount Hor , was near Petra. When visited by Mr. Legh , it was attended by a crippled Arab hermit , about 80 years of age , who conducted them into a small white building , crowned by a cupola , that contains the tomb of Aaron. The monument is of stone , about three feet high; and round the chamber where it stood were suspended beads , etc. , the votive offerings of the devotees.
