BIBLE PLACES | MOUNT MORIAH
a) Mount Moriah is the place where
King Solomon built "the House of the Lord", in Jerusalem. The very spot
on which it was built was pointed out by God to King David, Solomon's
father, years before Solomon built the temple. The spot had been the
threshing-floor of Onan the Jebusite (2 Chronicles 3:1).
b) This is the only
place in the Bible where the Temple Mount is identified with the site
where Abraham was to sacrifice Isaac, as in Genesis 22:2, which says,
"Then God said: 'Take your son Isaac, your only one, whom you love, and
go to the land of Moriah..." Mount Moriah is the place where the Temple
Mount, with the "Dome of the Rock", is located today.
