It is most notably recognized as the site where the Israelites were commanded to pronounce blessings upon entering the Promised Land, as described in Deuteronomy 11:29 and 27:12. The mountain holds significant religious and historical importance, particularly in the context of the covenantal blessings and curses.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Mount Gerizim is located near the city of Shechem, opposite Mount Ebal. In ancient Israelite tradition, it was the site of a covenant renewal ceremony where the blessings for obedience to God's law were proclaimed. The Samaritans, a group that emerged during the post-exilic period, regard Mount Gerizim as their sacred mountain, believing it to be the true location chosen by God for worship, as opposed to Jerusalem. This belief led to significant religious and cultural tensions between Samaritans and Jews, as reflected in the New Testament.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/1629.htm">garaz</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a mountain in N.
