Moreh:
an archer, teacher; fruitful. (1.) A Canaanite probably who inhabited the district south of Shechem, between Mounts Ebal and Gerizim, and gave his name to the "plain" there (Gen 12:6). Here at this "plain," or rather (R.V.) "oak," of Moreh, Abraham built his first altar in the land of Palestine; and here the Lord appeared unto him. He afterwards left this plain and moved southward, and pitched his tent between Bethel on the west and Hai on the east (Gen 12:7,8).
Moreh:
stretching
Moreh:
(teacher).
(1.) The plain or plains (or, as it should rather be rendered, the oak or oaks) of Moreh. The oak of Moreh was the first recorded halting‐place of Abram after his entrance into the land of Canaan (Genesis 12:6). It was at the "place of Shechem," (Genesis 12:6) close to the mountains of Ebal and Gerizim (Deuteronomy 11:30).
(2.) The hill of Moreh, at the foot of which the Midianites and Amalekites were encamped before Gideon's attack upon them (Judges 7:1). It lay in the valley of Jezreel, rather on the north side of the valley, and north also of the eminence on which Gideon's little band of heroes was clustered. These conditions are most accurately fulfilled if we assume Jebel ed‐Duhy, the "Little Hermon" of the modern travelers, 1,815 feet above the Mediterranean, to be Moreh, the Ain‐Jalood to be the spring of Harod, and Gideon's position to have been on the northeast slope of Jebel Fukua (Mount Gilboa) between the village of Nuris and the last‐mentioned spring.
