 John Wesley noted that the plains of Moreh was one of the first places that Abram came to in Canaan, so when Moses sent the incoming Israelites to this place "to hear the blessing and the curse, they were minded of the promise made to Abram in that very place".A 19th-century travelogue identifies Moreh as Nebi Dahi, south of Mount Tabor.In the 20th century, in the valley below the mountain, the city of Afula was developed as the main Jewish center of the region.
