After combining the model with the terrane, I noticed a dark spot about 45 meters east of the altar. I think that this is a scattering of stones, left from the ancient altar of Abraham, in the place of Jehovah Jireh. Then the Temple model needs to be moved slightly to the east, so that the new altar is in place of the former altar.

Ancient altar of Abraham.

Since I can not be sure that this dark spot on satellite photography is the ruins of an ancient altar, I will not yet move the Temple model 48 meters to the east and 18 meters to the north. Although it seems that it would be more convenient if the northern wall is built a little to the north than it is now: there is a stream and the wall runs right in the center of its channel.

If it turns out that the dark spot on the satellite image is really the ruins of the ancient altar, then we should look for fragments of the bronze knife of Abraham concerning these ruins. The burial of the remains of the sacrificial ram should be where there will be a passage 20 cubits wide (Ezekiel 42:3), which is along the western wall of the temple complex, about 120 meters to the west and a few meters to the south of the center of the ruins of the altar.
