how to say “hill” in Hebrew

ByAmi Steinberger

גִּבְעָה

While a mountain is a הר
, a hill is a גבעה

For example:

הם גרים בראש גבעה, שמשקיפה על ים המלח.

They live on the top of a hill, overlooking the Dead Sea.

More than one גבעה is גבעות
. The word appears in the colorful expression:

הבטיחו לו הרים וגבעות.

They promised him the world (mountains and hills).

Where does this expression come from? Watch today’s video to find out.
