The Hawker's Poor Man's Concordance And Dictionary -
Gareb
The word means a pitcher. It was a hill near Jerusalem. (See Jeremiah 31:39) If this hill was, as it is said to have been, three miles distant from Jerusalem, it serves to give a beautiful idea of the future extensiveness of the holy city. (See Ezekiel 40:1-49 etc Zechariah 2:1-13 etc. Revelation 21:10-27)
