* upon mount Gerizim.
Mount Gerizim and mount Ebal being only separated by a narrow
valley, not above a furlong broad, what was spoken with a loud
voice on the one might be heard on the other, (See Jud 9:7.)
It is probable, however, that the particle {(836c)} should be
rendered by, as it frequently signifies; for when this
direction was reduced to practice, (Jos 8:33,) it seems that
the people did not stand on the mountains, but over against
them in the plain. But the Talmud says, that six tribes went
up on each, while the priest and Levites and the ark remained
beneath.
