Moriah [1]
Mori´ah, one of the hills of Jerusalem, on which the temple was built by Solomon . The name seldom occurs, being usually included in that of Zion, to the north-east of which it lay, and from which it was separated by the valley of Tyropœn (Josephus, Antiq. viii. 4, 1) [JERUSALEM].
The Land of Moriah, whither Abraham went to offer up Isaac , is generally supposed to denote the same place, and may at least he conceived to describe the surrounding district. The Jews themselves believe that the altar of burnt-offerings in the temple stood upon the very site of the altar on which the patriarch purposed to sacrifice his son.
