Fausset's Bible Dictionary
Jeremiah 31:39. Named with the hill Garth. From gaah , "to low" as a cow, "the heifer's pool" (Targum). But Syriac version, "to the eminence," from gawah "to lose one's breath," namely, with ascending. S.W. outside the city of David, as Gareb was N.W. (Junius, in Poli Synopsis). Rather N.W. (Fergusson) (See JERUSALEM.)
