Mount Betarim

Mount Betarim (Hebrew: הר הבתרים, Har haBetarim) is one of the peaks of Mount Dov (known also as "Jabal Ross"). According to one Jewish tradition this is the site of the covenant of the pieces between Abraham and God. According to Muslim tradition, this is the site in which an event occurred, which is described in the Quran, where God commanded Abraham to sacrifice four species of birds, and afterwards resurrected them. Therefore, it was called in Arabic "Mashhad A-Tir al-Ibrahim" (مشهد الطير الإبراهيمي) meaning "The sacred site of Abraham's birds" or "Makam Ibrahim Al-Khalil" (مقام إبراهيم الخليل) meaning "The sacred site of Abraham, God's friend".
