Vers. 8. HE removed thence to a Mountaine, &c. 1. He removed, because his building of Altars was offen∣sive to the Inhabitants, and it was a wonder that hee was not stoned of them for the same. Calvin. As also it pleased God hereby to trie Abrahams faith, being tossed thus from post to pil∣lar, and that thereby hee might bee a meane by his godly life and religion to call that people to re∣pentance, Pererius. 2. Hee is said to pitch his tents, being ready as souldiers are, to remove their
campe,Chrysost. 3. This Bethel was at this time called Luz, Gen. 28.19. It is called Bethel by way of anticipation, by that name which it had afterward: and it was removed from Hai, here named, by the space of a mile. This Hai was that City which Iosuah destroyed, cap. 8. there was another City of the same name among the Ammonites, Ierem. 49.5. this Hai was three miles situate from Jericho, and as farre from Elizeus fountaine neare to Jerico, 2 King. 2. Perer. ex Andr. Mas. •• Borchard. 4. This hill wherein Abraham built an Altar, was the same wherein Iosua also reared an Altar, in Mount Ebal, neare to Hai, Ios. 8.30. this hill had two tops or heads, Hebal and Garizim, where was built a temple in disgrace of that at Jerusalem: and this is the hill which the Samaritane woman meaneth, Ioh. 4. which hill is not neare to Jerico and Gilgal, as Mercator collecteth out of Eusebius booke de loc. Hebraic. translated by Hierome, but neare to Sechem, and not neare Gilgal, as the Septuag. read, which might deceive Euseb. but over against it, Pererius.
