Mount Gerizim

그리심산

The mountain on which Deuteronomy 11:29 has the blessing 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 27:11–12 has Moses command the people the same day that, when they have crossed over the Jordan, Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph and Benjamin shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people. Joshua 8:33 says, “All Israel, with their elders, officers, and judges, stood on both sides of the ark before the Levitical priests, who carried the ark of the LORD’s covenant, the foreigner as well as the native; half of them in front of Mount Gerizim, and half of them in front of Mount Ebal, as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded at the first, that they should bless the people of Israel.” Judges 9:7 says that Jotham went and stood on the top of Mount Gerizim, and lifted up his voice, cried out, and said, “Listen to me, you men of Shechem, that God may listen to you.”

⁸The trees set out to anoint a king over themselves. They said to the olive tree, ‘Reign over us.’

¹⁰“The trees said to the fig tree, ‘Come and reign over us.’

³⁰Then Joshua built an altar to the LORD, the God of Israel, on Mount Ebal,
³¹as 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 offered burnt offerings on it to the LORD and sacrificed peace offerings.
³²He wrote there on the stones a copy of Moses’ law, which he wrote in the presence of the children of Israel.
³³All Israel, with their elders, officers, and judges, stood on both sides of the ark before the Levitical priests, who carried the ark of the LORD’s covenant, the foreigner as well as the native; half of them in front of Mount Gerizim, and half of them in front of Mount Ebal, as Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded at the first, that they should bless the people of Israel.
³⁴Afterward he read all the words of the law, the blessing and the curse, according to all that is written in the book of the law.
³⁵There was not a word of all that Moses commanded which Joshua didn’t read before all the assembly of Israel, with the women, the little ones, and the foreigners who were among them.
