    The form is tagged Noun · Proper in every occurrence. In Deuteronomy 11:29 and Deuteronomy 27:13, the APB renders it in clauses locating the curse there; in Deuteronomy 27:4, stones are to be set up there, while Joshua 8:30 and Joshua 8:33 place an altar and part of Israel’s assembly there.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the cited verses, the APB consistently presents the proper name within the phrase “Mount Ebal,” while associating the location with the curse, stones, an altar, and Israel’s assembly. This consistency confirms the verse-level location rather than isolating a separate English rendering.
