The Shomron

Elon Moreh (Hebrew: אלון מורה‎), is an Israeli settlement located in the Samarian Hills of the West Bank northeast of Shechem/Nablus on the slopes of Mount Kabir ridge. Elon Moreh receives municipal services from the Shomron Regional Council and the closest neighboring settlements are Itamar, Har Bracha and Yitzhar. 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,

And Avram passed through the land until the place of Shechem, until ELON MOREH, and the Canaanite was then in the land. And God was revealed to Avram, and said: to your descendants I will give this land, and he built an altar there to God who was revealed to him. Genesis 12: 6-7.
