Places of Scripture · Land and mount associated with Jerusalem

Moriah
One place across the record

Genesis names the land of Moriah in Abraham’s testing. Second Chronicles later identifies mount Moriah at Jerusalem as the place where Solomon built the house of the LORD.

Identification and reading caution

Genesis does not itself use the name Jerusalem for Abraham’s destination; the connection is examined through 2 Chronicles 3:1.
