“And when Jehovah your God brings you into the land which you are entering to possess, you shall put the blessing upon Mount Gerizim and the curse upon Mount Ebal.”
(Deuteronomy 11:29)
Mount Gerizim (Hebrew הַר גְּרִזִים) is one of the two mountains in the immediate vicinity of the West Bank city of Nablus (biblical Shechem), and forms the southern side of the valley in which Nablus is situated, the northern side being formed by Mount Ebal. The mountain is one of the highest peaks in the West Bank and rises to 881m above sea level.
In Samaritan tradition, Mount Gerizim is held to be the highest, oldest and most central mountain in the world. The mountain is sacred to the Samaritans who regard it, rather than Jerusalem’s Temple Mount, as having been the location chosen by God for a holy temple. The mountain continues to be the centre of Samaritan religion to this day, and most of the worldwide population of Samaritans live in very close proximity to Gerizim, mostly in Kiryat Luza, the main village.
『及至耶和華你的神領你進入要去得為業的那地，你要將祝福的話陳明在基利心山上，將咒詛的話陳明在以巴路山上。』(申命記11:29)
基利心山（Mount Gerizim）意為「荒地」、「多岩石」、「割下者」，其東北面為以巴路山，這兩座山都位於撒馬利亞的中心，相對而立。兩山之間是個肥沃的山谷，稱為示劍谷。以色列人進入應許之地以前，示劍城是迦南人的堅城重鎮，居於戰略性位置，在軍事、政治、宗教方面都舉足輕重。
據撒瑪利亞人的傳統，基利心山就是摩利亞山（創22:2），是神選擇出來立祂名的地方（申12:5）。因此，撒瑪利亞人在波斯王的准許下，於主前四世紀在基利心山建造了撒瑪利亞人的聖殿。雖然這殿約在主前128年被拆毀，撒瑪利亞人依然視基利心山為聖山，世世代代「在這山上敬拜」（約4:20）。
聖經記載，摩西將耶和華神的話吩咐以色列百姓，要將祝福的話陳明在基利心山上，因此這山也被稱為「祝福山」。
