Gerizim; a mountain in central Israel south of Shechem, associated with covenant blessings.
The name of the mountain south of Shechem (modern Nablus) that served as the mountain of blessing in Israel's covenant renewal ceremony. In Deuteronomy 11:29 and 27:12, Moses commands that the blessings be proclaimed from Mount Gerizim while the curses are spoken from Mount Ebal opposite. Joshua 8:33 records the fulfillment of this command. Judges 9:7 places Jotham on Gerizim as he delivers his famous fable against Abimelech. The mountain later became the sacred site of the Samaritan community. All translations preserve the name uniformly as 'Gerizim.'
Senses
1. sense 1 — Gerizim — a mountain in the central highlands of Israel, south of Shechem and opposite Mount Ebal, designated as the mount of blessing in the Mosaic covenant ceremony (Deut 11:29; 27:12). Joshua 8:33 records the covenant reading there, and Judg 9:7 sets Jotham's parable on its slopes. The modern identification is Jebel et-Tur. Cross-linguistic uniformity (eng/spa/fra/deu 'Gerizim') reflects the stable transmission of this important toponym. 4×
