Jearim

Jearim [E] [H]

(forests ), Mount, a place named in specifying the northern boundary of Judah. ( Joshua 15:10 ) The boundary ran from Mount Seir to "the shoulder of Mount Jearim, which is Cesalon" --that is, Cesalon was the landmark on the mountain. Kesla , seven miles due west of Jerusalem, stands on a high point on the north slope of a lofty ridge, which is probably Mount Jearim.
