Strong's Lexicon Moriyyah: Moriah Original Word: מוֹרִיָּה Part of Speech: Proper Name Location Transliteration: Mowriyah Pronunciation: mo-ree-YAH Phonetic Spelling: (mo-ree-yaw') Definition: Moriah Meaning: Morijah Word Origin: Derived from the root יָרָה (yarah), meaning "to teach" or "to show." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Moriah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew texts. However, the concept of sacrifice and divine provision is echoed in the New Testament, particularly in the context of Jesus' sacrifice. Usage: Moriah is a significant biblical location, often associated with divine instruction and revelation. It is traditionally understood as the site where Abraham was instructed by God to offer his son Isaac as a sacrifice, a pivotal event in the narrative of faith and obedience. Cultural and Historical Background: Moriah holds a central place in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions. In Jewish tradition, it is believed to be the location of the Temple Mount in Jerusalem, where Solomon built the First Temple. This association underscores its importance as a place of worship and divine encounter. The narrative of Abraham and Isaac on Mount Moriah is seen as a foreshadowing of God's provision and the ultimate sacrifice in Christian theology.
