Mount Ebal

에발산

The mountain on which Deuteronomy 11:29 has the curse set: “It shall happen, when the LORD your God brings you into the land that you go to possess, that you shall set the blessing on Mount Gerizim, and the curse on Mount Ebal.” Deuteronomy 11:30 asks of the two mountains, “Aren’t they beyond the Jordan, behind the way of the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites who dwell in the Arabah near Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh?” Deuteronomy 27:1–8 has Moses and the elders of Israel command the people that when they have crossed over the Jordan they are to set up great stones on Mount Ebal, coat them with plaster and write on them all the words of this law, and build there an altar to the LORD of uncut stones for burnt offerings and peace offerings; 27:11–13 has Moses command the same day that Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan and Naphtali stand on Mount Ebal for the curse. Joshua 8:30–33 has Joshua build an altar to the LORD, the God of Israel, on Mount Ebal, “as Moses the servant of the LORD commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses: an altar of uncut stones, on which no one had lifted up any iron”; they offer burnt offerings on it to the LORD and sacrifice peace offerings, and all Israel stands, “half of them in front of Mount Gerizim, and half of them in front of Mount Ebal”.
