hill-See also:country of See also:Samaria, 2849 ft. above the See also:sea-level, and enclosing, with its See also:companion Ebal, the valley in which lies the See also:town of Nablus (See also:Shechem). It is the See also:holy See also:place of the community of the See also:Samaritans, who hold that it was the See also:scene of the See also:sacrifice of Isaac—a tradition accepted by See also:Dean See also:Stanley but no other western writers of importance. Here, on the formal entrance of the Israelites into the See also:possession of the Promised See also:Land, were pronounced the blessings connected with a faithful observance of the See also:law (Josh. viii. 33, 34; cf. Dent. xi. 29, 30, See also:xxvii. 12-26), the six tribes, See also:Simeon, See also:Levi, See also:Judah, See also:Issachar, See also:Joseph and See also:Benjamin, See also:standing here for the purpose while the remaining tribes stood on Ebal to accept the curses attached to specific violations thereof. Gerizim was probably chosen as the See also:mount of blessing as being on the right See also:hand, the fortunate See also:side, of a spectator facing See also:east. The See also:counter-See also:suggestion of See also:Eusebius and See also:Jerome that the Ebal and Gerizim associated with this solemnity were not the Shechem mountains at all, but two small hills near See also:Jericho, is no longer considered important. From this mountain Jotham spoke his See also:parable to the elders of Shechem (Judg. ix. 7). See also:Manasseh, the son of the Jewish high-See also:priest in the days of See also:Nehemiah, married the daughter of Sanballat and, about 432 B.C., erected on this mountain a See also:temple for the Samaritans; it was destroyed by See also:Hyrcanus about 300 years afterwards. Its site is a small level See also:plateau a little under the See also:summit of the mountain. See also:Close to this is the place where the See also:Passover is still annually celebrated in exact accordance with the See also:rites prescribed in the See also:Pentateuch. On the summit of the mountain, which commands a view embracing the greater See also:part of See also:Palestine, are a small Moslem See also:shrine and the ruins of a See also:castle probably dating from Justinian's See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.
