Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root יָרָה (yarah), meaning "to see" or "to provide."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Morijah in the Strong's Concordance, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew texts. However, the concept of divine provision and revelation can be related to Greek terms such as προοράω (proorao • to foresee) or ὁράω (horao • to see), which capture the thematic elements of seeing and providing associated with Morijah. Usage: Morijah is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, specifically referring to a significant location in biblical history. Context: Morijah is a biblically significant location mentioned in the Old Testament. It is most notably referenced in Genesis 22:2, where God instructs Abraham to take his son Isaac to the land of Morijah to offer him as a burnt offering. This event is pivotal in the narrative of Abraham's faith and obedience to God. The location is traditionally associated with the site of the future Temple in Jerusalem, as suggested in 2 Chronicles 3:1, where Solomon begins to build the house of the LORD on Mount Morijah. This connection underscores the site's enduring religious significance as a place of divine provision and revelation. The association with both the binding of Isaac and the Temple Mount highlights Morijah as a place where God's presence and promises are profoundly manifested.
