Boyd’s Bible Dictionary:
(cutters). The mountain of blessings in Ephraim (Deut. 11:29; 27:12-26; 28).
Concise Bible Dictionary:
Mt. Gerizim from Jacob’s Well.
The mountain in Samaria on which the blessings on Israel were pronounced, in contrast to the curses given on mount Ebal (Deut. 11:29; Deut. 27:12; Josh. 8:33; Judg. 9:7). History records that after the rebuilding of the temple in the time of Ezra a Samaritan temple was built on this mountain, where they had priests and sacrifices, which was the cause of great animosity between the Jews and the Samaritans. Though this temple was destroyed by Hyrcanus, the Samaritans clung to the mountain as the right place of worship, as the woman of Samaria said to the Lord (John 4:20). The Samaritans still eat the Passover lamb on the mountain. A church was also built there; but now there are only ruins. The mount is called Jebel et Tor, 32° 12' N, 35° 16' E. Its highest point is 2,849 feet above the sea. See map of Samaria.
