Editing Givat HaMoreh (section)

==Etymology==
For the Hebrew name several possible origins have been discussed. One is ''yoreh'', ''lit.'' "shoots" or "teacher", a name used for a specific rain in the [[parasha]] [[Eikev]] ({{bibleverse|Deut.|11:14}}) and in the [[Twelve Minor Prophets]] ({{bibleverse|Joel|2:23}}), the first one of the annual rainy season in the [[Land of Israel]].<ref name=JNFL/><ref name=Rabbi>{{cite web |author= Rabbi Reuven Chaim Klein |title= Rain, Rain Come Again |publisher= Ohr Somayach International |year= 2016 |url= https://ohr.edu/6949 |access-date=20 June 2020}}</ref> A second is "high place", as the hill does indeed dominate the surrounding valleys.<ref name=JNFL/> A third is based on the meaning of "teacher" for the Hebrew ''moreh'', interpreted as a local holy man who could [[divination|foretell the future]].<ref name=JNFL/> One can also think of a holy man living on Givat HaMoreh who could bring about rain, or of a rainmaking cult once practiced at the site.<ref name=JNFL>{{cite web |title= Givat HaMoreh Forest |publisher= Keren Kayemeth LeIsrael-Jewish National Fund |year= 2015 |url= https://www.kkl-jnf.org/hiking_and_walking_tracks/givat-hamoreh/ |access-date=31 October 2024}}</ref>

In the  3rd century BCE, the name was translated into [[Koine Greek]] as {{lang|grc|Γαβααθ Αμωρα}}, "Gabaath Amora".{{citation needed|date=June 2020}}

Christian pilgrims, starting with the Middle Ages, sometimes named the hill "Little Hermon" in connection to {{bibleverse|Psalm|89:13}}, "Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name",<ref name=JNFL/> considering that Givat HaMore is close to Mount Tabor, much more so than [[Mount Hermon]].<ref name=Alon/>

In Arabic, the hill is known as "Mount Dahi" (Jebel ed-Dahi), after the Muslim shrine (''[[Maqam (shrine)|maqam]]'') of [[Dihyah al-Kalbi]] situated at its top and housing the tomb of this seventh-century saint.<ref name=Alon>{{cite web |title= גבעת המורה-שמורת טבע |language= Hebrew |publisher= Yigal Alon Museum |url= http://www.bet-alon.co.il/info/site_details.php?site_id=10 |access-date=15 December 2015 |archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20151217073314/http://www.bet-alon.co.il/info/site_details.php?site_id=10 |archive-date=17 December 2015 |url-status= dead}}</ref>
