In the Torah, a Moreh is one who imparts instruction to his/her students. In the Bible, Elon Moreh is where God told Abraham, �To your descendants will I give this land� (Genesis 12:6). Then, Jacob, the son of Isaac and grandson of Abraham purchased land near Elon Moreh and Shechem (Genesis 33:19). The name of the village comes from a passage in the Torah relating to the first location where Abraham settled after crossing the Jordan River. Hebrew translators who consider the obscure elon moreh of Genesis 12:6 to be the name of a locality, call it "the plains of Moreh." Other Hebrew translators who consider the term to be a sacred tree or grove, call it "terebinth", a tree notable for its size and age in dry landscapes of the region. The noble terebinth is a member of the pistachio and sumac family. Thus for them, at Shechem, grew the terebinths, elone moreh: "Abraham passed through the land as far as the site of Shechem, at the Terebinths of Moreh. The Caananites were then in the land" (Genesis 12:6). Thus, the tree or grove, with a name that must mean "teacher," was a landmark in the area called; the "plains of Moreh" (Deuteronomy 11:30) or the "hill of Moreh" (Judges 7:1). In Genesis 35:4: We read, "and they gave unto Jacob all the strange gods which [were] in their hand, and [all their] earrings which [were] in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the oak which [was] by Shechem." The site of Moreh, which is the hill, by which Gideon camped before he attacked the Midianites, is sometimes identified with the modern day site of Nebi Dahi, Israel, south of Mount Tabor but this has not been confirmed by archaeology.

The easy way to get to the Moreh Hill or "Givet Hamoreh", Israel, is to fly into the Ben Gurion International Airport. The airport is at the junction of the Haifa, Jerusalem, Dan, and Tel Aviv metropolitan areas. The Ben Gurion International Airport, (IATA: TLV, ICAO: LLBG), also referred to by its Hebrew acronym Natbag, is the largest and busiest international airport in Israel. It was named the best airport in the Middle East by the ACI organisation.[ The airport is located near the city of Lod, 15 km (9 mi) southeast of Tel Aviv. It is operated by the Israel Airports Authority, a government-owned corporation that manages all public airports and border crossings in the State of Israel. The Ben Gurion International Airport is considered one of the world's most secure airports, with a security force that includes both police officers and IDF soldiers.
