Mamre, the First Home of Abraham in Canaan

Site Study | Brian Kvasnica

Only mentioned in Genesis, Mamre is the site where Abraham lived after arriving in Canaan. At Mamre, Abraham built an altar (Gen 13:18), received the news of Lot’s captivity (14:13), and was hospitable to the three angelic visitors who promised Abraham a son (18:1). Mamre seems to have been a well-known grove of trees during Abraham’s time (14:13; 18:1). Mamre has been associated with Ramat el-Khalil, about two and a half miles north of Hebron (Tel er-Rumeidah). Later during Emperor Hadrian’s triumph over Bar Kochba (132-135 AD), many Jews were sold into slavery at this site. -BK
