Psa 84:6 Who passing through the valley of Baca make it a well; the rain also filleth the pools. 7 They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.
In ZION. The name of the easternmost hill in Jerusalem upon which the city of David was built. Another name for Jerusalem that occurs 152 times in the KJV. This was obviously a pilgrimage of Yahweh’s people to the temple He had them build on Mt. Moriah in Jerusalem. In THE Holy Land of the prophets and patriarchs.
To suggest it is to where Mecca was eventually established, would be to suggest that instead of God’s people worshiping Him in the land and at the temple He had them build, they instead turned their backs on that temple and wandered over 900 miles across harsh, barren, waterless, foodless Arabian desert, over 1,000 years before overland travel to southern Arabia was possible (in about the 6th century BC). This only to march around a kaaba (that did not exist until about the 5th century AD, located in a town (Mecca) that did not exist until about the 4th century AD when Yemeni migrants first established the town) and then they are supposed to have wandered the 900 miles back home?!
