“And rose up, and thrust him out of the city, and led him unto the brow of the hill whereon their city was built, that they might cast him down headlong.”
They got up, drove him out of the town, and took him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw him down the cliff — the attempted execution by throwing off a cliff is the first attempt on Jesus' life in Luke — remarkably early in the ministry (the third temptation in the wilderness, throwing from the temple pinnacle, has given way to a real crowd attempting to throw Jesus from a real cliff). The brow of the hill connects the attempted murder to the physical geography of Nazareth.
