ETHER 4:3 [9:3]: And the Lord warned Omer in a dream that he should depart out of the land; wherefore Omer departed out of the land with his family, and traveled many days, and came over and passed by the hill of Shim,
Commentary: This verse references the places of Heth, hill Shim, Nehor, and a ridge between Heth and the hill Shim. Omer traveled many days from the land of Nehor and passed by the hill of Shim. To travel many days, the hill Shim is not very near the land of Nehor or the land of Heth. The phrase 'came over' means over a ridge before getting to the hill Shim (in order to pass by the hill Shim).
