Summary: Mount Tabor is a small mountain located in lower Galilee, about five miles east of Nazareth and eleven miles west of the Sea of Galilee. Prior to his mission to Lebanon, Yeshua gathered some one hundred disciples at Mount Tabor and appointed twelve men to be apostles, setting over them Cephas, James and John (Y:18:1-3). Yeshua then called his mother Miriam to appoint seven women “to be as ministers unto the Lord” (Y:18:4). He then ordained seventy others to heal and preach “the coming of the kingdom” throughout the land (Y:18:5-86).

After sending the Seventy on their way, Yeshua and his closest disciples ascended Mount Tabor. It was on the mount that the disciples witnessed the transfiguration of Yeshua, followed by the advent of Moses and Elijah (Y:19:1-8).
