27:12 “The following tribes ¹  must stand to bless the people on Mount Gerizim when you cross the Jordan: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin. 27:13 And these other tribes must stand for the curse on Mount Ebal: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.

Yosua 8:33

8:33 All the people, ²  rulers, ³  leaders, and judges were standing on either side of the ark, in front of the Levitical priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the Lord. Both resident foreigners and native Israelites were there. ⁴  Half the people stood in front of Mount Gerizim and the other half in front of Mount Ebal, as Moses the Lord’s servant had previously instructed to them to do for the formal blessing ceremony. ⁵ 

Yohanes 4:20

4:20 Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, ⁶  and you people ⁷  say that the place where people must worship is in Jerusalem.” ⁸ 

[27:12]  ¹ tn The word “tribes” has been supplied here and in the following verse in the translation for clarity.

[8:33]  ² tn Heb “All Israel.”

[8:33]  ³ tn Or “elders.”

[8:33]  ⁴ tn Heb “like the resident alien, like the citizen.” The language is idiomatic, meaning that both groups were treated the same, at least in this instance.

[8:33]  ⁵ tn Heb “as Moses, the Lord’s servant, commanded to bless the people, Israel, formerly.”

[8:33]  sn Moses’ earlier instructions are found in Deut 11:29.

[4:20]  ⁶ sn This mountain refers to Mount Gerizim, where the Samaritan shrine was located.

[4:20]  ⁷ tn The word “people” is not in the Greek text, but is supplied to indicate that the Greek verb translated “say” is second person plural and thus refers to more than Jesus alone.
