Moreh, Plain of

From: Concise Bible Dictionary: M By: George A. Morrish

The Hebrew signifies the oak, or oaks, of Moreh. It was near Shechem, where Abram first pitched his tent on entering Canaan, and where the Lord appeared to him (Gen. 12:6⁶And Abram passed through the land unto the place of Sichem, unto the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanite was then in the land. (Genesis 12:6); Deut. 11:30³⁰Are they not on the other side Jordan, by the way where the sun goeth down, in the land of the Canaanites, which dwell in the champaign over against Gilgal, beside the plains of Moreh? (Deuteronomy 11:30)).
