Commentary on Deuteronomy 27:4

Theological / Devotional

Ebal. See ch. 11:29. The Samaritan Pentateuch here substitutes “Mount Gerizim,” the sacred mountain of the Samaritans. As elsewhere, the translators altered the words of Moses to correspond with their beliefs. Mt. Ebal is about 18 mi. from the nearest ford across the Jordan, and about 30 mi. from Gilgal, where Israel would be camped.
