Endnote 3 – Reactivating Remembrance

There is only an indirect link between the Hebrew Bible and the sanctuary on Mt. Gerizim, and that link is the deity Yahweh. Yahweh was worshiped by the people who visited the sanctuary on Gerizim and by the authors of the Hebrew Bible, but there is no indication that the people on Gerizim were familiar with the Hebrew Bible. Nevertheless, the sanctuary on Mt. Gerizim is one of relatively few surviving Yahweh sanctuaries, and the Hebrew Bible is by far the most extensive and theologically informative ‘yahwistic’ text that we have. In this sense, it seems worthwhile to consider—with all the necessary caveats—how the text and the sanctuary may have been informed by each other.
