Most of the muslims and christians did not know that Pilgrimage of Hajj is even mentioned in Bible...
First of all we know that one of the name of "Makkah" was "Bakkah" as mentioned in Quran(3:96)Saheeh international's translation
Indeed, the first House [of worship] established for mankind was that at Bakkah [i.e., Makkah] – blessed and a guidance for the worlds.
Bible (Psalms, KJV)
{84:3} Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for
herself, where she may lay her young, [even] thine altars, O LORD
of hosts, my King, and my God.
{84:4} Blessed [are] they that dwell in thy house: they will be still
praising thee(1). Selah.
{84:5} Blessed [is] the man whose strength [is] in thee; in whose heart
[are] the ways [of them.]
{84:6} [Who] passing through the valley of Baca(2) make it a well; the
rain also filleth the pools.
{84:7} They go from strength to strength, [every one of them] in Zion
appeareth before God.
(1)-when muslims go for hajj they chant(praise God) "Lab-baik...allahuma lab-baik" (here we are o my lord, here we are, at your service).
(2)-Another name of Makkah.
