Moriah (region in Bible)

Moriah is a biblical region in ancient Israel, traditionally associated with a hill or mountain near Jerusalem. It holds significance for its spiritual and historical connections, notably as the site of Abraham’s near-sacrifice of his son Isaac, as described in Genesis. Over time, Moriah became linked to the Temple Mount, the holiest site in Judaism, where Solomon's Temple was built. It symbolizes faith, obedience, and divine promise, serving as a key location in biblical narratives and Jewish religious history. Today, Moriah’s site continues to be a focal point for religious reverence and historical study.
