I share you all about the oak of Abraham aka the great oak tree of Moreh was the place of Canaanite shrine where instruction took place.  The Hebrew word Moreh means Teacher.

First, we all read Nicodemus, a Pharisee recognized Yeshua is Living Torah (Teacher) comes from God:

John 3:1-3 TLV

3 Now there was a man, a Pharisee named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jewish people. 2 He came to Yeshua at night and said, “Rabbi, we know that You, a teacher, have come from God. For no one can perform these signs which You do unless God is with Him!” Please click John 3 TLV

YHWH and His Divine Call on Abram (Avram) still was a foreigner (stranger/pilgrim) before YHWH gave him a new divine spiritual name Abraham (Avraham on Genesis 17:5) pitched a tent and his heart belonged surrounding the land of Shechem nearby between the mountains (slopes) of Ebal and Gerizim, planted his first oak (terebinth) tree of Moreh.  Abram pitched his tent under the oak of Abraham. Some says the oaks of Abraham. The land of Shechem is a city in Manasseh; located in a valley between Mount Ebal and Mount Gerizim, 34 miles (54 kilometers) north of Jerusalem and 7 miles (noun proper locative).

Abram reside and built an alter on the Name of YHWH.   Three spiritual tents of YHWH:

Shechem (two shoulders)

Hebron (a community, alliance, union, join) which was often referred “City of the Four” or “Tetrapolis” in Hebrew: Qiryat Arba. some says Kirjath-Arba. Abraham purchased the cave of Machpelah as a burial place for his wife Sarah. 

The patriarch: Abram means “exalted father” and Abraham means “father of the multitude” (father of many).

The matriarch: Sarai means princess and Sarah is the name of the biblical wife of Abraham. It is a Hebrew word meaning lady or noblewoman or princess or princess of the multitude
