Deuteronomy 27:4

which I command you LXX B, etc., thee; other codd. you.

in mount Ebal See on Deuteronomy 11:29, and introd. note to this passage. Sam. Gerizîm, the sacred mountain of the Samaritans. How far this direction for the site of the erected stones is consistent with that in Deuteronomy 27:2, on the day on which ye shall pass over Jordan, may be seen from the following. Mt -Ebal is about 18 miles from the nearest of the Jordan fords, at the present Jisr ed-Damieh, the most natural place of passage from E. to W. Palestine. Even if the writer intended this as the place of Israel's crossing of the Jordan the interval is considerable between it and their arrival at Shechem. And, of course, the interval between Israel's crossing at Jericho and their attainment of Shechem, as recorded in the Book of Joshua, is very much greater.
