 * Gerizim.
   Gerizim and Ebal, mountains west of Jordan, and in the tribe
   of Ephraim, are opposite, or parallel to each other, extending
   from east to west; mount Gerizim being on the south, and mount
   Ebal on the north.  They are separated by the beautiful valley
   in which Shechem or Nablous is situated, which is only about
   200; paces in width.  Both mountains are much alike in length,
   height, and figure; being about a league in length, in the
   form of a semicircle, and so steep, on the side of Shechem,
   that there is scarcely any shelving:  their altitude appeared
   to Mr. Buckingham nearly equal, not exceeding 700; or 800; feet
   from the level of the valley, which is itself elevated.  But
   though they resemble each other in these particulars, yet in
   another they are very dissimilar; for, says Maundrell, "though
   neither of the mountains has much to boast of as to its
   pleasantness, yet, as one passes between them, Gerizim seems
   to discover a somewhat more verdant, fruitful aspect then
   Ebal:  the reason of which may be, because fronting towards
   the north, it is sheltered from the heat of the sun by its own
   shade; whereas Ebal, looking southward, and receiving the sun
   that comes directly upon it, must by consequence be rendered
   more scorched and unfruitful."
