    Description

    Moreh in the text

    In the words of STEPBible TIPNR:

    Moreh is the name of two distinct locations mentioned in the Bible. The first is a place near Shechem, where Abraham built an altar to the Lord after arriving in Canaan (Gen.12.6). This location is described as being near the great tree (or terebinth) of Moreh, which served as a landmark. It was here that God appeared to Abraham and promised to give the land to his descendants. The second location is a hill near Gilgal, mentioned in Deu.11.30 in connection with the blessing and cursing ceremony that the Israelites were to perform upon entering the Promised Land. The hill of Moreh was likely situated opposite Mount Gerizim and Mount Ebal, where the ceremony was to take place. The name "Moreh" may be derived from the Hebrew word meaning "teacher" or "diviner," possibly indicating the presence of a religious site or oracle in ancient times.

    Relations

    Direct connections

    Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
