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
29
And it shall come to pass, when the Lord thy God hath brought thee in unto the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal. (Deuteronomy 11:29)
;
Deut. 27:12
12
These shall stand upon mount Gerizim to bless the people, when ye are come over Jordan; Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin: (Deuteronomy 27:12)
;
Josh. 8:33
33
And all Israel, and their elders, and officers, and their judges, stood on this side the ark and on that side before the priests the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord, as well the stranger, as he that was born among them; half of them over against mount Gerizim, and half of them over against mount Ebal; as Moses the servant of the Lord had commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel. (Joshua 8:33)
;
Judg. 9:7
7
And when they told it to Jotham, he went and stood in the top of mount Gerizim, and lifted up his voice, and cried, and said unto them, Hearken unto me, ye men of Shechem, that God may hearken unto you. (Judges 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
20
Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship. (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.
