It has had many names over the years—Mount Moriah, the threshing floor of Araunah, Mount Zion and the Temple Mount. Jews, Christians and Muslims all honor the site. Abraham, the father of the Jews, once led his son Isaac to the crest of this hill to worship (Genesis 22:5), and the Jews would later worship there as a sovereign nation under David who purchased the site from a Jebusite farmer.
