    Dictionary Summary: A Canaanite probably who inhabited the district south of Shechem, between Mounts Ebal and Gerizim, and gave his name to the “plain” there ([Gen. 12:6](/gen#Gen.12.6)). Here at this “plain,” or rather (R.V.) “oak,” of Moreh, Abraham built his first altar in the land of Palestine; and here the Lord appeared unto him. He afterwards left this plain and moved southward, and pitched his tent between Bethel on the west and Hai on the east ([Gen. 12:7](/gen#Gen.12.7), [8](/gen#Gen.12.8)). 2
