Moreh is the name of a location or a person mentioned in the several times in the Hebrew Bible (, and ). ==Torah locality== The Hebrew phrase ''elon moreh'' 〔Genesis 12:6a〕 has been subject to various translations in English versions of the Bible. Translators who consider ''elon moreh'' to be the name of a locality, render it as "the plain(s) of Moreh", e.g. King James Version and the Geneva Bible, but translators who consider the term to refer to a sacred tree or grove often render it as "terebinth", referring to the ''pistacia palaestina'' tree which is notable for its size and age in dry landscapes of the region. For example, the New International Version translation of Genesis 12:6a reads: :"Abram traveled through the land as far as the site of the great tree of Moreh at Shechem" and the New King James Version translates Deuteronomy 11:30 as: :"Are they (Mount Gerizim and Mount Ebal) not on the other side of the Jordan, toward the setting sun, in the land of the Canaanites who dwell in the plain opposite Gilgal, beside the terebinth trees of Moreh?" "Moreh" is often understood to mean "teacher" or "oracle", referring to the owner of the tree or the land on which it grew. ''Genesis'' 35:4: And they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which () in their hand, and (their ) earrings which () in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which () by Shechem. A neutral reading discovers that the tree, oak or not, grew above buried idols and dedicated treasure, the Hebrews remembered, and they associated the burial of these things with the patriarchal age. John Wesley noted that the plains of Moreh was one of the first places that Abram came to in Canaan, so when Moses sent the incoming Israelites to this place "to hear the blessing and the curse, they were minded of the promise made to Abram in that very place".〔(John Wesley's Notes on the Bible ) on Deuteronomy 11:30, accessed 25 November 2015〕 The site of Moreh, a hill by which Gideon camped before he attacked the Midianites, is sometimes identified with modern Nebi Dahi, Israel, south of Mount Tabor but this has not been confirmed on the ground. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Moreh」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
