Deuteronomy 11:30 Line 1: As you know, these mountains (i.e. Mount Gerizim and Mount Ebal) are beyond the Jordan, Line 2: behind the way towards the sun-set, Line 3: in the land of the Canaanite, who lives in the valley, Line 4: opposite Gilgal, Line 5: besides the oaks of Moreh, Line 6: <opposite Shechem> (SAMARITAN PENTATEUCH) (translation RSV 1995, slightly adapted)
Ancient Palestine At the centre of the map, the Jordan valley runs from north to south. Halfway between the Lake of Gennesaret in the north and the Dead Sea in the south, the Jabbok river, on the east side of the Jordan river, and on the west side, in the mountains, the city of Shechem (today Nablus). In the Jordan valley, near the river, Gilgal of Deut 11:30 is to be located. Ca. 55 km (34,17 mi) further south, the city of Jericho, on the west side of the Jordan river. Between Jericho and the Jordan river, not far from the river, Gilgal of Josh 4:19 is to be located.
