Semantic domains 4 entries
Rain001002005011
This entry carries no independent "Rain" sense of its own; every genuine tagged occurrence of this lexeme (Genesis 12:6, Deuteronomy 11:30, Judges 7:1) names the place Moreh (the oak or hill of Moreh), not the early rain. The domain is bundle-shared with the identically-spelled common noun for the early rain (מוֹרֶה (môwreh, H4175)); see מוֹרֶה (môwreh, H4175).
Know002004002007
Likewise, the Know domain carries over from the homographic "teacher" sense of מוֹרֶה rather than from the place name Moreh, which names the hill and oak grove near Shechem (Genesis 12:6; Judges 7:1) and the plain near Gilgal (Deuteronomy 11:30).
Names of Locations003001010
Moreh genuinely names a location — the hill north of the valley of Jezreel where the Midianite camp lay opposite Gideon (Judges 7:1).
Names of Landforms003001008
The same name also attaches to a landform, the oak/terebinth and the hill of Moreh (Genesis 12:6; Deuteronomy 11:30), the sense most directly attested by the candidate citations.
