It is also associated with the concept of "early rain," which is crucial for agricultural cycles in the ancient Near East. The dual meaning reflects the idea of guidance and provision, both spiritually and physically.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, teachers held a significant role in society, responsible for imparting wisdom and knowledge, particularly of the Torah. The early rain, or "Moreh," was vital for the success of crops, symbolizing God's provision and blessing. The term is also linked to specific geographical locations, such as the "Oak of Moreh," a site of divine revelation and covenant.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/3384.htm">yarah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a place near Shechem, also a hill of unc. location<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Moreh (3).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Moreh <p>Or Moreh {mo-reh'};
