Editing Moriah (section)

==Biblical references==
In the [[Hebrew Bible|Jewish Bible]], ''Moriyya'' and/or ''Moriah'' ({{langx|he|מוֹרִיָּה}}) occur twice, with differences of spelling between different manuscripts.<ref name=":0">Jože Krašovec, "Transliteration or Translation of Biblical Proper Names", ''Translation Review'', 67:1  (2004), 41–57 (pp. 50–51); {{doi|10.1080/07374836.2004.1052385}}.</ref> Tradition has interpreted these two as the same place:

* [[Book of Genesis|Genesis]]:<ref>{{bibleverse-nb||genesis|22:2|HE}}</ref> "Then God said, 'Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriyya. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you.{{'"}}
* [[Books of Chronicles|2 Chronicles]]:<ref>{{bibleverse-nb|2|chron|3:1|HE}}</ref> "Then Solomon began to build the temple of the {{Lord}} in Jerusalem, on Mount Moriah, where the {{Lord}} had appeared to his father David. It was on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite, the place provided by David."
