Abraham took his only son Isaac to Mount Moriah to sacrifice him.
Isaac was a full grown man, and carried on his back enough wood to consume a sacrifice. This foreshadowed Jesus carrying His wooden Cross. God prevented the sacrifice of Abraham's only son, and provided a male lamb "caught by its horns in a thicket." This foreshadowed the Crucifixion of the Lamb of God on Mount Moriah. Jesus was later "caught by His horns" on the Cross.
Geographically Mount Moriah includes the Temple Mount, and the vicinity of Golgotha and the Garden Tomb
