פירוש על בראשית 13:18

ממרא MAMRE — the name of a man.

ויאהל אברם, an expression denoting the encamping, erecting one’s many tents.

ויאהל אברם, he moved his tent from there and pitched it from one place to another until he arrived at Eloney Mamre. This is not the same אלון מורה mentioned in 12,6. The previous place was located in the plain, and the owner of that site was called Moreh. Here we speak of at least two plains belonging to a person called Mamre, the brother of Eshkol and the brother of Aner.
