Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the proper noun "Ebal" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew geographical name.

Usage: Ebal is primarily known as the name of a mountain in the central region of ancient Israel, near Shechem. It is one of the two mountains mentioned in the Bible where the Israelites were instructed to pronounce blessings and curses upon entering the Promised Land. Mount Ebal is associated with the curses, while Mount Gerizim is associated with the blessings.

Cultural and Historical Background: Mount Ebal is significant in the history of Israel as it was the site where Joshua built an altar to the LORD, following the instructions given by Moses. This event symbolized the renewal of the covenant between God and the Israelites. The mountain's association with curses reflects the ancient Near Eastern practice of using geographical landmarks for covenant ceremonies, emphasizing the importance of obedience to God's laws.
