Editing Temple Mount (section)

==== Binding of Isaac ====
In Jewish tradition, the Temple Mount is also believed to be the location of Abraham's [[binding of Isaac]]. [[Books of Chronicles|2 Chronicles]] 3:1<ref name=":15" /> refers to the Temple Mount in the time before the construction of the temple as '''Mount Moriah''' ({{langx|he|הַר הַמֹּורִיָּה}}, {{transliteration|he|har ha-Môriyyā}}). The "[[Moriah|land of Moriah]]" ({{lang|he|אֶרֶץ הַמֹּרִיָּה}}, {{transliteration|he|ereṣ ha-Môriyyā}}) is the name given by [[Book of Genesis|Genesis]] to the location of the binding of Isaac.<ref name="Delaney">Carol Delaney, ''Abraham on Trial: The Social Legacy of Biblical Myth,'' Princeton University Press, 2000, p. 120.</ref> Since at least the first century CE, the two sites have been identified with one another in Judaism, this identification being subsequently perpetuated by [[Jewish legend|Jewish]] and [[Christian legend|Christian tradition]]. Modern scholarship tends to regard them as distinct (see [[Moriah]]).
