Concise Bible Dictionary
:
The mount on which
the temple
was built; once only is it thus designated (
2 Chron. 3:1
1
Then Solomon began to build the house of the Lord at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where the Lord appeared unto David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite. (2 Chronicles 3:1)
). It was the place previously occupied by the
threshing
floor of
Araunah
. Its site is now very generally believed to be on the S.E. of
Jerusalem
, where there is a large plain, called the “temple area,” formed by
stones
being built into the sides of the
rock
. It is also called the “mosque enclosure,” because the mosque of
Omar
is built thereon.
