ge.ri.zim is the named mountain associated with blessing, assemblies facing it, and Jotham's address from its top.

The proper noun identifies a particular mountain: it is named in blessing-related instructions and an assembly facing it, and it is also the height from which Jotham calls out.

Senses in use

  1. Named mountain in blessing and public action · dominant

    All four occurrences use the form as a proper noun for the same mountain. In Deuteronomy 11:29 the APB renders the instruction to set the blessing there; in Deuteronomy 27:12 it renders tribes standing there to bless the people; in Joshua 8:33 it describes half the people standing opposite it; and in Judges 9:7 it places Jotham on its top as he calls out.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB consistently presents the proper name as "Mount Gerizim" in all four verses. This identifies its presentation of the clause rather than a separate lexical rendering claim.
