Tabor, a dome-shaped, oak-clad hill of northern Palestine, 7 miles E. of Nazareth, rising solitarily in the north-eastern part of the plain of Esdraelon to a height of about 1000 feet. In the 2d century it was regarded as the Mount of Transfiguration, and the ruins of a crusading church on the summit commemorate this event. Tabor is not named in the New Testament.
