Both passages use the name Moriah, but Genesis 22:2 speaks of a land and 2 Chronicles 3:1 of a mountain at Jerusalem. These verses alone do not establish that they are the same place.

Names in the World English Bible text that carry this entry’s tag. They are carried over from the tags on the Korean Revised Version, which are matched by name inside chapters that already have collected evidence, and a verse where the English says “he” carries none. All await human review. They are a separate list from the source passages above. An empty list does not mean the entry is absent from the text.
