Deuteronomy 27:4 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Therefore it shall be when ye be gone over Jordan, that ye shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in mount Ebal, and thou shalt plaister them with plaister.

Ye shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in mount Ebal. The Samaritan version has, 'in mount Gerizim'-a reading which, though supported with great zeal by Kennicott ('Dissert.,' ii), was most satisfactorily refuted, and the correctness of the Hebrew text established by Verschuir (Dissept. 'Exeget. Philologicae,' 1773: see Moses Stuart, 'On the Samaritan Pentateuch and Literature,' in 'American Biblical Repository,' vol. 2:, p. 681-724).
